How Festus Keyamo Allegedly Duped Pakistani Drug Lord $380,000 In Kuje Prison by ogododo: 1:45pm On Apr 24, 2023
Shocking details of how the Minister of Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo allegedly duped a Pakistani drug lord identified as Mr Khan when he was remanded in Kuje prison, have emerged.

The revelation was made by the founder of Due Process Advocates International and Harvard trained attorney, Emeka Ugwuonye in a report titled, “Festus Keyamo is a rogue: I have an idea how he made the money he now brags about”.

The human rights lawyer in the report was responding to Keyamo’s claim that his $300,000 US property was acquired with money he made from legal practice.

him that because he was the leader of the Christian inmates and in charge of the prison chapel. He was placed in a special cell as they do high profile inmates such as politicians and rich people. Because the prison officials treated me like an important inmate, I was placed in the same special cell with this GO. Our cell was next to the cell of Governor Joshua Dariye, another high profile inmate.

“PLEASE NOTE: I was only remanded in prison awaiting trial. I have never been convicted of any offense in my entire life anywhere in the world, including Nigeria where every effort has been made to convict me. But I have been charged more than ten times by Nigerian authorities. So far, I have won all the cases. And in each case, I was charged because I criticized law enforcement. It is important to make that clarification.

“One night, around 19th of February, 2019, a new inmate was brought to the cell I occupied with the GEO. The inmate was a man from Pakistan. His name was Muhammad Khalid Khan. Of course, bringing him to our cell meant that he was viewed as a high profile inmate or someone with money to pay the officials. As Khan entered the cell and the after the warders left and locked us inside, I and GO introduced ourselves to him and began to interview him. It is a standard practice that when you enter a cell, the inmates in that cell would interview you and give you the rules of that particular cell and the rules of the custody as well as the rules of the prison. The depth of questioning during the interview depends on the comparative strength and personality of the resident inmates and incoming inmates. I wasn’t interviewed when I entered the cell. My fight with the police was already well known and the inmates and warders knew of me before I got to the prison.

“In the case of Khan, he was told I was a lawyer and he expected I would grill him. The moment I saw him, I knew this was a tough guy in the criminal world of which most Nigerians could not imagine. He was quiet and unassuming. Yet, from experience, I knew this was a big fish. I wasn’t really authorized to interview him. But did so out of curiosity. A Pakistani in Nigerian prison is not a frequent occurrence. My initial impression was involved in terrorism financing. So, I grilled Khan in the presence of GO. He told me he was arrested at the airport upon landing in Nigeria. He wasn’t sure the particular law enforcement agency that arrested him. I knew I could figure it out if he could tell me the offense he was charged with. I knew he must have been charged with an offense because he wouldn’t be remanded in prison without a remand warrant issued by a court. Also, the name of the court (Federal High Court) gave me the idea that this was a drug related offense or terrorism. He also indicated to me that they were trying to extradite him to America. That gave me the impression that he must be wanted by America either for drug-related offenses or terrorism-related financing. But Khan did not really know much about details of the processes playing around him.

intermediaries.

“Khan is now serving his long prison term in the US. I intend to visit him in the US prison to get the full story and to tell him that Keyamo now has a house in America. He can arrange to get his money back.”

Pure bunkum.
Keyamo got his money through corrupt deeds either directly from government coffers or through kickbacks from favours or government contracts,but this story is a bunch of crap.
For starters if the Pakistani is a top notch criminal as is claimed in this article,why would he bother answering questions thrown at him by a random guy he met in prison?
Some people would also believe this rubbish.
What people with proof of his corrupt deeds can do is directly write a petition or forward evidence to American corrupt agencies and I am sure they would do an investigation and if they suspect the source of his wealth used to acquire the house in US is fraudulent they would act.
But they are all on social media just ranting and the man would most likely get another appointment from the Tinubu government and continue his corrupt deeds into the next government

If Keyamo's detractors had started off with these sort of claims rather than their hue and cry about how poverty-stricken he was before joining the current administration, they might have generated wider interest. cheesy
I say this because I know a few SANs who made 'good money', without working for the FGN directly, via dubious means.

Now I am not saying the allegations made here are any more true than the ones made against him in 1999 - for those with poor comprehension skills, or those who only know binary logic. cool I am simply suggesting this one has more mileage...

Back in the 1999.
Lagos — Lagos activist lawyer, Festus Keyamo who has lately been mounting a negative campaign against Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi has been arrested over an alleged 15,946 dollar fraud.

He was arrested this morning at the Lagos High Court by a team of police detectives. He was immediately dragged to the nearby Igbosere Magistrate Court where the case was mentioned for hearing.

Damn, this expose no be small thing o shocked
In Ogbeni Emeka Ugwuonye's words:

Khan promised to give me 100,000USD upfront if I could help him with that, and 200,000USD when he would get back to Pakistan. I didn’t want to consider this. Besides, it could be dangerous messing with a man like Khan with an international network of bad guys. So, I politely declined. However, GO thought otherwise. He thought that the money Khan was offering for help was too much to ignore. When I went to court the following day, GO was alone with Khan. GO convinced Khan that he would fine him a lawyer, well connected with the government that would help him. The lawyer GO found for K was Festus Keyamo. When I came back from court, I noticed that Khan was avoiding me. He and GO did not want to tell me that they had reached out to Keyamo and that Keyamo had agreed to help Khan.

The next day, Keyamo visited the prison in his Landcruiser. I knew that Keyamo came to Kuje, but I did not immediately realize who he came to see. All I knew was that Khan was taken out to meet a visitor and that GO went with him. It was later that night that I realized that Keyamo had promised Khan that he would use his connections in the Buhari Government to stop his extradition. I was told that Keyamo charged Khan 280,0000 USD for that. Khan was willing to pay anything. I tried to convince Khan that Keyamo was only trying to dupe him. I felt that with the level of interest the United States Government had in Khan, even the President of Nigeria would not be able to stop the extradition. So, I knew that Keyamo was lying to Khan. He just wanted to take the man’s money. Unfortunately, as I tried to stop Khan from trusting Keyamo, Khan began to see me as someone opposed to his only solution. Also, GO felt that I was about to spoil the opportunity of him getting money. I learnt that GO was to get 50,000USD for his role in arranging for Keyamo. I later heard that Keyamo gave 50,000USD to a relative of GO out of the 280,000USD Khan paid him.
