Six Nigerian indigenes residing in London have been jailed in the United Kingdom for their role in a series of online scams that fetched them over £10 million.

The Metropolitan Police announced on Thursday that the Nigerians collaborated with four other criminals of Middle East and Pakistan origins to carry out their nefarious acts of “diversion fraud.”

They were convicted between March 26 and 28, and the Blackfriars Crown Court only sentenced them to a combined 43 years and community service on May 2.

All of them were sentenced to various jail terms after being found guilty of crimes ranging from impersonation to money laundering.

The six Nigerians shared two surnames, and the police identified at least three of them as brothers. The brothers are: Bonaventure Chukwuka, 41; Emmanuel Chukwuka, 27; and Christian Chukwuka 39.

The remaining three are Andrew Chukwu, 35; Queen Chukwuka, 32; and Grace Chukwuka, 39.

Queen and Grace are wives of Andrew and Bonaventure, and they were found to have received illicit funds into their respective bank accounts.

The non-Nigerian suspects are: Nadeem Abbasi, 48; Mohammed Rahman, 31; Mansoor Zaman, 27; and Ionut Relu Muresan, 34.

The Nigerian suspects were found to have lavished their ill-gotten wealth on expensive fabrics and jewelleries, including Cartier and Rolex watches.

The police said efforts to confiscate all the asset linked to the convicts had commenced.
