. . . .every bad vice!!! From Armed Robbery to Kidnapping, Human Sacrifice, Drug Dealing, Fraud, Prostitution ect Ibo men are at the top of their game!!! The link below shows how hypocritical most Ibo men on Nairaland are. From reading a lotta posts I used to think the crime below was the forte of Yoruba men as claimed by the likes of Mekusyyshiyyt, Dede1, Wily+Wily, MENTALgong, Ezeuche and co. However, new revelations show that it was really the Ibo men, in their usual sneaky way of life, that actually had a strangle hold on the racket but somehow managed to shift blame to the docile Yorubas.

Police swoop on visa racketeers, arrest suspect with 120 passports
By Ifeanyi Okolie
Friday, May 14, 2010
Sometime in August 2005, a combined team of both policemen and operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC), launched an onslaught on the notorious Oluwole Market located in the commercial nerve centre of Lagos State. Then it was a notorious enclave for criminals, who specialized in forgeries and sophisticated crimes such as international passport racketeering, credit card fraud, drug cartel, fake certificates, currency and visa forgeries; among others.


The suspect: Emeka with different passports, fake stamps etc

At the end of the exercise, over 20 persons were arrested and fake items such as, cheque books and traveller’s cheques belonging to different financial institutions, international passports of different countries, travelling documents, certificates of various higher institutions, various official stamps of government parastatals, corporate bodies, federal ministries, banks among others were recovered from various parts of the Market.

The exercise was an offshoot of the then President Olusegun Obasanjos’s anti-corruption crusade geared at changing Nigeria’s reputation and also creating an enabling atmosphere for foreign investments. Unfortunately, it did not last long as some of the fraudsters shifted their operational base from the popular Oluwole market to a remote but unknown area in the Lagos island, known as Lewis Street.

Investigation by Crime Alert revealed that the reputation of this new operational base at Lewis Street grew quite fast, as fake documents of any kind, raging from travellers cheques, work permit, visa or school certificates could be acquired without pains. That was how Lewis Street took over from Oluwole.

Some of the patrons who had visited the street recently have many stories to share. A middle-aged man who simply identified himself as Omoshe, a resident of Kirikiri town, Lagos, during an interaction with Crime Alert, said he was swindled of the sum of over N450,000 by some visa racketeers operating at the notorious street who had provided a fake British Visa to him. According to him, he was scared of the notorious Oluwole and he was also scared of confronting the embassy for visa.

“I was introduced to one Chuks by a friend and he assured me that I can get a visa even without going for interviews. He also assured me that I can process the visa without paying all the money and I will have to pay when my visa is ready. I was highly convinced and I gave him N50,000 for a start and he assured me that the process would take just three weeks, because I was desperate to travel abroad. I pressurized him and before the time the visa came out, I gave him the balance before boarding my plane.

“I was filled with joy because I was about leaving this land of frustration for good and I also thought that my visa was original. It was when I got to Heathrow Airport that I realized that my visa was fake. I was checking in when the immigration officer who went through my green passport discovered some anomalies and she alerted the authorities. I was arrested and taken into a waiting room where I was interrogated. My elder brother who was at the airport to receive me came in and discovered that I have been arrested and he could not take me home. I was deported back to Nigeria, and I had to start over again. I made little effort in recovering my money, because I alerted the police and I went looking for Chuks but he was no where to be found”.

Another victim of the notorious street was one Mr. Michael, an importer. In his case, his Turkish Visa was stolen and it was sold off at the Lewis Street. But Mr. Michael’s case did not end like others. This time, he had some little share of luck on his side. After reporting the case to the police at the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, FEDSARS, they swooped on the street and succeeded in recovering his stolen visa while one of the kingpins was arrested with over 120 Nigerian and ECOWAS passports with stamps belonging to various financial institutions.

The suspect identified as Emeka Olisa (39) who is currently cooling off at the dreaded cell of the FEDSARS told Crime Alert that he specialized only on visa racketeering and travellers cheques.

The Delta State-born, who spoke in a sober mood confessed that he charges as much as N750, 000 from his victims and the stamps were used to procure travellers cheques.

“ I have been in this business for over seven years and I also have a fashion designing outfit in Lagos but I wasn’t meeting up. That was why I ventured into this act. The deal that brought me to this place was on a Turkish Visa that was given to me to sell by one Emma. I didn’t know the visa was stolen until the police came. But before I took the visa from Emma, I gave him about eight passports to get visas on them. I also gave him part payment, but he went away with this passport and he did not return them at the agreed date.

And owners of these passports were on my neck and they were seriously asking for their visas. I called Emma and I told him that the owners were on my neck but he would not listen.

At one time, he brought back photocopies of the visa and told me that they were ready but I can’t get them because one of our men at the embassy wants to lay low for a while. When he said this, he told me that he has a Turkish visa that he wants me to sell. I asked him to send it over which h

e did but I refused to sell the visa because he was owing and I intended using the visa as a leverage for my eight passports. I was at my office at 67, Lewis when the police came and arrested me”.

When asked how he would have sold the visa and if he did, what will the buyer do with it? Emeka, emphatically said that, the visa will be sold to some one that looks more like the person on the visa.

The spokesman of the FEDSARS (ASP), Lekan Ogundare who confirmed the story said they have spread their drag nets all around the notorious Lewis Street which he described as ‘safe haven for fraudsters and forgers’ assuring that they are poised to curb their criminal activities.

Lmfao shioooooGirl and my dad was swindled over $200,000 by some Yoruba and Ijo business men so the art of swindling is no ethnic group's monopoly.

Yes, this is a terrible crime regardless of the tribe of the criminal! Can NL just grow-up and stop seeing tribal sentiments in everything? Shame on either side (Yoruba and Ibo) posters who are nothing but tribalistic, racial bigots! You are the reason Nigeria cannot progress and all you will achieve till you die is racism, tribalism, bigotry! Shame, shame, shame on all of you!

@bk/babe97
Cut this senseless tribalistic ranting out, will you. It is not amusing, it is simply sad. Point one finger and the remaining four are firmly planted on your chest!

@bk/babe97
what is your aim with this kind of post?we nigerians are trying to tolerate each other and you are here spreading your poison.just take it to somewhere else because you are obviously in the wrong forum. you yourself are not a saint,remove the LOGS of wood in your own eye before you can remove the speck in your brother's eye.

^^^Thanx alot for the knowledge u just kicked, now move along! By the way, instead of responding couldnt u be doing something else with the lil time u got left on the internet? Remember, electricity aint regular where u at and power could go out at anytime. . . . .

Pathetic.

Mekus and Bk/bake should be arrested and prosecuted

^^^Maybe, altho I think I should be left alone. Mekkuyysshiyyt, on the other hand, should be hung by his ballsz, waterboarded, shot via firing sqaud, operated on, bullets removed from his body, lethally injected, revived just as he's about to meet his maker, then burnt with branding irons until he renounces tribalism and hate of all kind. Additionally, he should be forced to confess his REAL educational qualifications; and renounce the ones he falsely claims all the time.

Lol^Ode

Grow up

I hear one or two buyers were lucky enough to join in the fun. You see,Your posts this mornin have increased her desperation to concieve an igbo son who will put you in your proper place. Skirt wearing assole.

There, you said it,the igbo are genuises.thanks for pointing out to us how we can perfect that status; we nee to encourage our youths to leave vices alone for sorry loosers like you, and concentrate on building cars. Meanwhile go shoot yourelf.demonic creature

P.S:WHY ARE THE IBOS MAD AT THIS POST? WHY, BECUS YALL HYPOCRISY HAS BEEN EXPOSED?!?! ALL OVER NL YALL BEEN CLAIMING THAT YORUBAS HAD A STRANGLE HOLD ON THE PASSPORT AND VISA FORGERY RACKET, NOW ITS BEEN REVEALED THAT EVEN IN LAGOS AN IBO MAN WAS THE KINGPIN, PIE IN UR FACE, NOW BKBABE97 IS A "BAS.T.ARD"!!!LOL. FUNCCK YALL, IRREDEEMABLE LYING, PIECES OF ISH!!!

Yes, Yorubas are in charge here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-109719.0.html.

This lone man may (note may) be Igbo, but he lives in Yorubaland and forged the documents in the notorious Yoruba forgery headquaters-Oluwole certainly in collaboration with his Yoruba friends and colleagues. How often do you hear of any non-Yoruba-associated Igbo in such criminality? Most Igbo criminals are usually those living in ngbatiland or having ngbatis as friends. Again the genetic model GxE= P comes to play here.

Dude, I aint gone waste time reading ur link: mines blows urs out the water!!! Aint no coming back from that!!! Courtesy of an Ibo man I saw the most (forged) passports, travellers' checks and bank documents I ever seen in my life!!! And u already agree the lone man is Ibo (in your own link), what then is ur arguement?!

BKFARg your dad is waiting to give you your 'injection'.

^^^Ah, the power finally came back on in ur neighborhood,huh? Now u got access to the internet again!!!^^^

Oh go ride the yellow bus!(bkFAG.g)

See how st.upid u sound now that u aint used any material that included gays, Male se.x.ual organs, parents and ur usual material?!! Do u now agree when I say ure a waste of time? you aint worthy of my retorts, go hang urself!!! U need to contact Mekushiyyt or tpia and borrow their "diss books" so u can come hard, for now this is it. Ure clearly beneath me!!!

@bk/babe97.are you male or female?

bk/babe 97

Actually the man is a Yoruba using an Igbo name to commit crime. It is common knowledge that Yorubas commit crime with Igbo names. I know Igbo crime turf; this is not one of them.

^^^^ lol. hahaha. My dear Mekushhixxty, that aint gone fly here, and u know it!!! lol. Dude is Ibo!!! Might even be u!!! Aint ur name Emeka?!?!

Oh now mekusxxx is now your 'dear'? My friend leave igbo dudes alone oh. We no dey that your level.
