Idris Ogunsanya has been sentenced to four and a half years in prison for defrauding a number of people out of several thousands of pounds. The 29-year-old unemployed man from Blackwall Way was found guilty of fraud and jailed on Friday, February 19, at Snaresbrook Crown Court. Ogunsanya until his arrest lived an expensive lifestyle. He enjoyed luxury trips to Dubai in business class and and stayed at expensive hotels including the Burj Al Arab Hotel.
According to Metropolitan Police, Ogunsanya was arrested after he used a stolen credit card to buy a 375 bottle of Dom Perignon champagne at the Radisson Blu Edwardian hotel in Canary Wharf on November 1, 2003.
Other items recovered from his address includes, a large quantity of stolen credit cards, £6,000 in cash, a device for skimming card details from ATMs, credit card reader, 60 inch television, bottles of champagne and several pair of expensive trainers.
Further investigation established that Ogunsanya defrauded his neighbours and a number of people out of £40,000.

They are found in ALL types of jobs and unemployed. Most Nigerians think it's just the politicians who are CORRUPT. Its not. Everyday Nigerians are fraudsters as well.
ALL such Nigerians are bringing Nigeria down. Its a pity!

See someone trying to speak like Buhari, Lady please there are bad eggs in all and every region of the would, face is even the British people are scammers, they are currently trying some policemen who took bribe from Ibori to manipulate his case, tell me about that are they not scammers too? I do not support fraud anyway, but I think its high time we stop referring to Nigerians as criminals because there are unemployed people and people with bad character in all ethnic groups of the world

You right there are fraudsters ALL over the world. But why should I mention Britian in this article. Idris is NIGERIAN. I am yet to see in any foriegn article, a white British fraudster when caught comparing themselves to a Nigerian who commits fraud. Why should we?
Whether the offence was committed in the UK or Timbuktu is not the issue. He is a Nigerian.
Lets not turn patriotism on its head and defend wrongly. Fraud is wrong.
There are people ALL over the world who condemn their OWN citizens when they do wrong.
Lets make Nigeria right!

Come and keep me quiet, why does where he is from matters so much to you, like you gain some form of satisfaction from knowing he is not yoruba?

You be the judge;" Some Nigerians claim is that life is too difficult back home, but they have also made it difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human trafficking. I don't think Nigerians have anybody to blame. They can remain at home, where their services are required to rebuild the country."
