the chairman of the opposition party in nigeria (ANPP ) in south south
nigeria. Though was murdered in cold blood by unknown gun men just few weeks
to the april 19 2003 election, the election that brought this present evil
government to power for the second term. My husband was killed because he
wanted the nigerians to live a very happy life. But the bucanneers that has
been ruling this beautiful country for over 35years refuse to allow a
change, so they decided to kill him in order to have their way. Meanwhile we
are from eleme (an oil rich town) in south south Nigeria. My community
produces 78.8% of the total crude oil production in Nigeria yet we are beign
marginalised however due to my late husband educational background and his
rising political image 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrell is paid to
my husband as royalty by the Federal Government since he is from oil rich
region.
My husband was also the Chairman of Eleme Special Oil Trust Fund (ESOTF.) In

he left for me and my two little kids as the heir apparent. The money is
Eighteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars (US$18.5). This Money
originated from the accumulated royalties between 1976-1998. Due to poor
banking system in Nigeria and political instability as a result of long stay
of Military in government. He deposited this Money in a Strong Room/"VAULTS"
with an open beneficiary in a security company pending when he would finish
arrangement to transfer it abroad.
He was planning this before they murdered him inside our living room. Just
before my husband was murdered, one day he called me just immediately he
comes back from Aso Rock he told me this government might kill him if care
is not taken due to the differences he had with the government. But he is
not worried, he says! if they kill him since he was fighting for the poor
masses, then he must have died a hero, there he called my attention to the
money and charged me to look for a reliable foreigner who would assist me in
the transfer/investment of the fund abroad. So l would be very grateful if
you could accept to help me achieve this great offer. I promise to give you
20% of the total funds transferred to your preferred bank account as
compensation for your assistance. Five percent (5%) has been set aside to
take care of all expenses we may incure during the transaction.
