Grand Jury Criminal Indictment against the persons of Allen Ifechukwu Athan

Others have offered some theories relating to the motivations and hidden hands behind the Indictment. Some ‘experts’ have pontificated on the
seriousness of the charges especially money laundering. Some commentators have
even likened the Indictment to some recent high profile indictments involving
some Nigerians alleged to have engaged in sundry cybercrimes and advanced fee fraud schemes.
