More juicy gist and pictures after the cut...
Okwudili “Cowboy” "Dilly" Umenyiora, pleaded guilty to bank fraud, testified that he convinced one Oshinaike to recruit people who were willing to allow checks to be deposited into their bank accounts.
“His job was to go out and find the accounts,” he testified.
Umenyiora testified the account holders would be told a cover story similar to solicitations many people get via e-mail. The tale would be a variation of the theme that a person in Nigeria needed help getting money into the United States. Assistant U.S. Attorney E.T. Rolison said during his closing argument that it is a classic Nigeria scam.
Umenyiora testified that he would pay a postal worker at a mail-sorting center in Atlanta $500 each for corporate bank checks. He said he did not know the man’s name, but a man by the name of Andrew Bryant Gunn has pleaded guilty in federal court in Atlanta in connection with the plot and will be sentenced next month.
Umenyiora told jurors he would take the checks to a man named Guy Taylor, who would change the payee line. Umenyiora said he would then give the checks to partners who would in turn deposit them into bank accounts.
The bank account holder would be allowed to keep 15 percent of the value of the check, Umenyiora said. Taylor would get 10 percent and the postal worker was paid 10 percent to 15 percent, he testified.
Mobile resident Rosa Gullett testified that she agreed to allow Oshinaike, whom she knew as “Abdul,” to use her account. She said she met Oshinaike through her sister, who was dating him at the time. Her mother, Kim Williams, testified that she allowed him to use her account, too.
On cross-examination, defence attorney Linda Jensen attacked the witnesses’ credibility. All admitted that they have criminal records. All also received deals from prosecutors in exchange for their cooperation. For Williams and Gullett, adjudication was withheld for a year, after which the charges will be dropped if they stay out of trouble. Umenyiora and co-defendant Adrian Chike Okakpu, meanwhile, got prison terms half as long as the low end of advisory sentencing guidelines.

Incidentally, that’s not his first brush with the long arm of the law, it seems he’s been a career criminal for over a decade as this mugshot from 2001 attests. Back then his offences included ‘obstructing a police officer’ , ‘Giving a false name or information’ and ‘Driving while license is suspended’
This house took four years to build and they only just moved in three weeks ago. The housekeeping is being done by five house keepers,one of which is a Philippine woman. This house must cost a fortune and reeks of blood money.

This same Okwudili Umenyiora begins popping up all over the society pages of Nigerian newspapers, magazines and blogs, introducing himself as ‘Mr. Dilly’, Chairman of ‘Dilly Motors’, self-styled big time businessman and pillar of commerce. Now he has police Escorts in Nigeria.
are we back to the days of Fred Ajudua where known 419 Kingpins not only had a high public profile, but were even accorded police escorts, and were celebrated as pillars of society, worthy of emulation ?
Wasn’t the EFCC set up to specifically check such individuals? I mean, what’s the justification in having a self-confessed and convicted fraudster being given an armed police escort?
