The Former Governor Who Once Dressed Up Like A Woman To Escape Corruption Charges
- A past governor of Bayelsa State once tried camouflaging himself as a lady to prevent appearing in court in the UK on charges of corruption, and £1.8 million laundering.
- People praised, and welcomed back the former Governor of Bayelsa state after he was caught
- The newspaper actually published his picture in a red female dress, scarf, necklace, and lipstick
Former Bayelsa State’s Governor, Alamieyeseigha Diepreye became a discussion of the entire country, after clearly fleeing from Europe disguised in a female dress, and with a fake visa.
He was apprehended at London Heathrow, an airport in the United Kingdom, and his papers were seized.
The Former Governor was charged for 3 money laundering counts after London Police found £1 million, at his address in England, and property that carries his name estimated at £10 million, EKO HOT BLOG gathered.
Alamieyeseigha was secretive, when they asked him how he was able to avoid the British authorities, and travelled back to his hometown Niger delta.
He adorned himself like a lady, took a railway transport from England to Paris, and later traveled down to Douala, the largest city in Cameroon which is a border to Nigeria.
A speedboat carried him from there to his hometown. The disguise helped him, when he visited Europe.
EFCC said they would find a way to sue him. Thereafter, he accepted culpability to the 6 charges, and was sent to 2 years in jail for each offence.
A lot of his possessions were seized by the government of Bayelsa state.
After some years, he reportedly died of heart attack on the 10th of October 2015.
