Parklands = Darklands

Place looks like little Lagos, trashy and full of undesirable elements. It seems we're ever Nigerians go they leave their mark

And it was a really nice suburb only14 years ago. Lovely shopping centres and that great restaurant in a garden setting. Same thing happened to Sunnyside in Pretoria which was a middle class suburb in the late 90's

There's a reason to keep Nigerians out.

The eight men arrested in connection with the Nigerian transnational organised crime group called the Black Axe face extradition to the US, the Cape Town magistrate's court heard on Wednesday.

They include the alleged founder of the Black Axe Cape Town Zone, 52-year-old Perry Osagiede, and the man alleged to be the group’s current leader, 45-year-old Enorense Izevbigie.

Four other members of the leadership stood in the dock alongside them, including 37-year-old Franklyn Edosa Osagiede, 35-year-old Osariemen Eric Clement, 37-year-old Collins Owhofasa Otughwor, and 33-year-old Musa Mudashiru.

Two other Nigerians linked to the syndicate, but who are not part of the leadership, were also arrested in raids in Cape Town on Tuesday. They are Toritseju Gabriel Otubu, 41, and Prince Ibeh.

The Sunday Times has a brilliant article today. Slowly it's being revealed how some of the pieces fit together.
"The Nigerians would come to South Africa, marry South African women, and obtain South African citizenship that eases their travel to other parts of the world"

If they having a hard time now, shame. It's going to get worse. These guys don't do too well in American prisons.

INVESTIGATION: Global online ‘student cult’ cybercrime syndicate busted in Cape Town

Black Axe fraud syndicate, known for brutal tactics, allegedly operated from South Africa.
www.dailymaverick.co.za www.dailymaverick.co.za

One of Black Axe’s suspected leaders in Cape Town was brazen enough to allegedly use, as an alias, the name of democratic South Africa’s first president, along with a fancy title – Lord Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.

An Interpol report on cybercrime in Africa, which DM168 reported on last month, said that from January 2020 to February 2021 “South Africa … had the highest targeted ransomware and BEC [business email compromise] attempts”.

“Student cults are characterised by violent initiation rites and conduct illegal activities such as: killings, human trafficking, drug trafficking, smuggling, extortions, kidnapping, forced recruitment, etc.”

These suspects, and the allegations they face according to the US, are:
  • Perry Osagiede, aka Lord Sutan Abubakar de 1st / Rob Nicolella / Alan Salomon – alleged to be the “Zonal Head” and later “Elder” who ran the Cape Town offshoot of Black Axe. (DM168 has established that in 2020 a man named Perry Osagiede, based in Milnerton, Cape Town, was notified that he would have to forfeit R45,000 to the state. It was not clear why.)
  • Enorense Izevbigie, aka Richy Izevbigie / Lord Samuel S Nujoma – allegedly “Chairman of the Council of Elders” who helped steer the Cape Town grouping.
  • Franklyn Edosa Osagiede, aka Lord Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela / Edosa Franklyn Osagiede / Dave Hewitt / Bruce Dupont – the suspected “Chief Ihaza” or treasurer and later a suspected Elder.
  • Collins Owhofasa Otughwor, aka Lord Jesse Makoko / Philip Coughlan – the suspected “Chief Eye” or secretary.
  • Osariemen Eric Clement, aka Lord Adekunle Ajasi / Aiden Wilson – allegedly the “Assistant Eye” who assisted the secretary.
  • Egbe Tony Iyamu, aka Lord Aminu Kano / Richard Amall – the suspected “Chief Butcher” or head of security.
  • Musa Mudashiru, aka Lord Oba Akenzua – allegedly an “Assistant Butcher” who helped with security.

“Many of these fraudulent narratives involved claims that an individual was travelling to South Africa for work and needed money or other items of value following a series of unfortunate and unforeseen events, often involving a construction site and/or problems with a crane,” the indictment said.

The area has become know as a Nigerian "hot spot" over the years.

My sister lives in Table View and Parklands is not far away. Little Nigeria is what it is called.

LOL, they sound like some secret illuminati type organisation. Could these be the elusive illuminati various spammers have posted here and also posted all over social media, too?

More like a sect-type structed Mafia. You don't want to get to Sakawa either. It looks the same, but behind the scenes it's more terrifying.

The Illuminati scammers/spammers would be the guys from slightly south east, the Cameroon. That in itself is another massive can of worms. They regularly scam the Nigerian folks as well, who are scared of them. Daily we see them defrauding prospective pet owners, aspiring farmers, folks in the market for shipping containers, even sneaking in drugs. At the same time they register sham businesses at the CIPC then use ZA as a base to attack businesses abroad with paper, seeds and feeds, chicken feet, paws and claws, agricultural produce, chemicals ... while even sneaking in a few black money scams, forged currency and documents. They're having a royal time in South Africa, also use mules and money laundering is rife. It's also accompanied by blackmail.

Oh, it’s only a pet scam … – Artists Against 419
