Nigerian Con Man In “UK” Unmasked

Face behind Nollywood’s Award/Miss Nigeria Entertainment Scam in London
…How he fleeced Nigerians in Europe, Canada & US

* Why he’s on the run now
* Curses placed on him
* Evidence of his dirty deals attached
* Interpol steps into the matter
* Nigerian security operatives set to track him in Nigeria
* Plus fraud victims abroad: Esosa Edosomwan, Carol Jiani, Keisha Morrisey, Juliet Akobundu & Dubba Echos

BY GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU
/Editor-in-Chief

  1. Drops presidency name for Scam………………….
  2. To further convince his victims, he drops name of ‘endorsement by the Nigerian Presidency,’ so that no one suspects a foul play…..the PRESIDENCY through the National Sports Commission, The Federal Ministry of Information and Communication, The Federal Ministry for Arts and Culture and the National Assembly through the House Committee on Information.”
  3. His next scam style is to write electronic mails (e-mails) to well-positioned Nigerians abroad using a customized yahoo mail….
  4. Below are few of the unedited e-mails he sent out to defraud some top Nigerian/foreign celebrities, with an unregistered body unknown to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Nigeria. The irony of it all is that investigations by Naija Standard revealed that he is ‘holed up’ and hiding in Abuja, where he operates his ‘illegal business.’
  5. Interpol Wades in
    after the fraud had been allegedly committed by Frankie, petitions were written by Nneoma E. Njoku to the Metropolitan Police, United Kingdom (UK). Information at our disposal revealed that in view of the gravity of the financial crime, International Police attention was sought. And as at today, Frankie is alleged by one of the officers to be on the ‘wanted list’ of the global police.
  6. Nigerian Security set to track him down
    Having been communicated to regarding the financial crimes allegedly committed by Frankie, detectives, we gathered are already ‘sniffing’ for him in Plateau State, his ‘alleged’ birth place, though bearing ‘Ibo’ name, Abuja, and all the states in South East.
  7. As at the time of going to press, information on the ‘call data’ of Frankie had been sent to all the telecommunication providers in Nigeria, in a bid to track him at all cost. As the good book says “there is no peace for the wicked”, he can only run, but cannot hide.Copyright © 2011 NigeriaStandardNewspaper


The official comment from “Frankie Nollywood’s attorney made available exclusively to Nollywoodgossip Magazine.

By: Frankie Attorney’s inquiry and analysis

………”My office and partners in the United States and United Kingdom has refrained our client from making unauthorized public statements pending when our requests at the British High Commission in Abuja, The Metropolitan Police office in the UK, The Nigerian Police Headquarters, Abuja, and the International Police (INTERPOL) in Abuja, London and New York are decided…..”

On how, or if any legal action will be taken
……”We will be fair in our actions; but will pursue this matter “aggressively” to a justifiable conclusion, so that the reputation of innocent people will not, and never be tarnished by some desperate individuals……”

………”It is up to our client to sue for damages, if the allegations against him proved otherwise, but at the moment, we’ll wait on the British High Commission, and other Departments to open files for inquiries….”

On the first news article
……..”Though a benefit of the doubt was not given to Frankie before the two misleading articles were published in an online blog presumably operated by some desperate individuals led by one Mr. George Elijah Otumu.

On the fraud victims mentioned in the article
…..”Therefore, following unavailability of evidence proving that Esosa Edosomwan, Keisha Morrisey, Juliet Akobundu and Carol Jiani directly filed any report against Frankie Nollywood. And in order to protect them against deceitful use of their names by Mr. George Elijah Otumu; we will not “technically” comment on those ladies for the time being….”

    George Elijah Otumu – the so-called Editor of Nigeria Standard Newspaper is a Fake Journalist::::::::
    Misleading and misinforming the general public in the name of Journalism always results to;.
    - Politicians killing each other without evidence of electoral malpractices.
    - Ethnic cleansings as communities fighting/ killing their own brothers and sisters.
    - Husband and wife filling for a divorce after years of marriage.
    - Innocent people accused for armed robbery and sent to jail without trial.
    - Good Police officers dismissed for taking bribe after many years of service.
    - Parents disowning their biological children, accused of prostitution/armed robbery.
    - Celebrity killed herself, after reading a false article on her in the front pages.
    - Royal father dethroned, accused for being an accessory to a murder years ago.
    - Innocent Pastor dismissed from the Church for having an affair with a member.
    - Man abandoning his pregnant girl friend after promising to marry her.

    These are among the top 10 causes of fake Journalism in Nigeria today;.

    (1) – How do we differentiate the real and fake Journalists in Nigeria?

    (2) – Who protects the accused, until they are found guilty in a court of law?

    (3) – What are the penalties against those misinforming the public in the name of Journalism?
