Richard Austin Chide Ebere, a 29-year-old Nigerian has been arrested for falsifying a Ghanaian passport which had the name and picture of Kwadwo Baah Wiredu, Ghana’s Minister for Finance

They need to find out who sold him that passport, and put them behind bars. Mad

The fraudulent deal was successful and the Vietnamese investors handed the $13,000 to the Ghanaian lady to be given to Mr. Ebere but she panicked and reported the mater to the hotel management who then informed the security services, leading to the arrest of the culprits.

...Mr. Ebere’s accomplices however bolted and are still at large.

No doubt they ran back home. Rolling Eyes

...He said when the apartment was searched it was empty except for a single mattress.

His buddies must've gotten rid of all the incriminating evidence. Evil or Very Mad

Yes it has been a long time. However, I now have three lads on the line and am having much success using Shivers replies in the Letter Archives. Makes it a no-brainer on my part and gets them off script fairly quickly.
