A Nigerian man, Musiliu Amusa, who resides in the United States of America, has been indicted in stealing thousands of dollars from many American banks using false identities.<\/p>\n
This was stated in an indictment record provided by the Grand Jury of the District of Maryland and obtained by Peoples Gazette.<\/p>\n
It was gathered that Amusa used false names \u201cKelvin E Robert\u201d and \u201cIfaolokun Asorodayo,\u201d a Nigerian Yoruba deity, to defraud many American banks between October 1, 2016, and September 7, 2017. .<\/p>\n
The names of the banks were, however, redacted from the indictment sheet.<\/p>\n
The 2021 document further showed that Amusa a.k.a \u201cIfaolokun Asorodayo\u201d made illicit withdrawals \u201cunder the custody and control of the Victim Banks, by means of materially false and fraudulent pretences, representations, and promises.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amusa had earlier presented himself as a British citizen and a living Yoruba deity to dupe the unsuspecting U.S. banking officials.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was part of the scheme that AMUSA opened account at the Victim Banks in false names using false passports, including a false United Kingdom passport in the name of \u201cKelvin Emmanuel Robert\u201d and a false Nigeria passport in the name of \u201cAsorodayo Ifaolokun,\u201d\u201d reads a part of the charge sheet filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland and signed by Jonathan Lenzner, acting U.S. attorney on August 4, 2021.<\/p>\n
Amusa, a New Yorker, made three days’ worth of unauthorised withdrawals totalling $6,500 from an unknown bank in August 2017. Additionally, he used a fake bank check to deposit $11,379.50 at the Frederick, Maryland, branch of the bank.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was further part of the scheme that AMUSA obtained bank checks with the payee information altered to reflect false names, such as \u201cKelvin E. Robert\u201d and \u201cAsorodayo Ifaolokun,\u201d the indictment document stated.<\/p>\n
Lenzner, the case’s acting US attorney, initiated a forfeiture lawsuit to force Amusa to turn over any assets he obtained via his deception to the US government.<\/p>\n
\u201cMUSILIU AMUSA, a\/k\/a \u201cKelvin Emmanuel Robert,\u201d a\/k\/a \u201cAsorodayo Ifaolokun,\u201d shall forfeit to the United States any property constituting, or derived from, proceeds obtained directly or indirectly, as the result of such offenses,\u201d stated the document.<\/p>\n
It was unclear the number of U.S. banks that fell victim to Amusa\u2019s fraudulent schemes since the indictment sheet shielded their identities and only referred to them as \u201cVictim Banks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
