some confessional statements and indicted Ex-Governor of Central Bank

impersonated the names of some UN Executive members like MR BAN
KI-MOON, Mrs. Inga-Britt Ahlenius and Ms.Carman L. Lapointe Mrs
Paulette Beal to defraud their victims.
We have noticed that these corrupt officials in charge of foreign
payments are very ruthless and have defrauded so many foreigners we

attention of the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Rtd General
M. Buhari who came to a resolution that the Federal Government of
