Nigerian authorities say they have arrested a North Carolina woman who they suspect may be part of a counterfeit check ring.

A spokesman for Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says 24-year-old Sharon Denis Thorpe of Raleigh, N.C., was arrested Saturday as she attempted to board a flight to the U.S. The spokesman says Thorpe was carrying more than $760,000 worth of fake checks.

The spokesman says authorities believe the woman's fiance is the mastermind of the check scheme, but that he has yet to be found.

The spokesman says investigators continue to interrogate Thorpe.

This is what Nigeria should have been doing since. I hope it is sustained though and the world will know that the 419 stereotyping of Nigeria is only possible because we have collaborators from their own country.

Yeah right. Any number of 'collaborators' is infinitesimally small compared to the number of victims.

So, how many are the collaborators?

I'll answer that for you. Nobody knows because the law is never implemented.

someone who on the influence of alcohol raped his brothers wife must surely be interested in the woman before the intake of the drink. So Think again.

The white culprit's boyfriend Akorede Musediku Kehinde, has been in so many scandal ever since, This is his another story:

Two men were arrested Friday on charges related to identity theft, the Wake Sheriff's Department said.

Lukomon Adebayo Kehinde 27, and Akorede Musediku Kehinde, 22, both of 5410 Morning Creek Way, Raleigh, were charged with obtaining property by false pretenses and financial identity theft, said Phyllis Stephens, spokeswoman for the sheriff's department.

The sheriff's office worked the case along with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Raleigh Police Department.

Stephens said the sheriff's Intelligence Unit began the investigation in June when contacted by the U.S. Postal Service. A mail carrier had reported delivering mail, addressed to several different people, to an empty house. One victim has been identified as a result of the joint investigation, Stephens said.

Investigators think the suspects stole the victim's identity to fraudulently obtain a credit card, then charged more than $14,000 to that account, Stephens said.

Lukomon Kehinde was charged with two counts of obtaining property by false pretenses and three counts of financial identity theft, Stephens said. He was being held in the Wake County jail Friday in lieu of $5 million bail.

Akorede Kehinde was charged with one count of obtaining property by false pretenses and one count of financial identity theft. He was released after posting $20,000 bond. It was not clear whether the men are related. Stephens said the agencies are searching for victims and possible co-conspirators.
