Emeka Offor In Landmark Fight To Overturn UK Deportation / Exclusion Order

Emeka Offor
SaharaReporters, New York

 A Nigerian businessman, Emeka Offor, anonymously called ‘D1’ in UK immigration Court documents is making history with a battle royale he has launched against the UK which deported him last March when he sought to visit the country. Offor had been under close scrutiny since December 2006 when he was caught with £700,000 stashed in his designer luggage.

Emeka Offor, claims UK authorities went out of bounds when they said his exclusion was “conducive to the public good” because of his involvement in “serious, organized criminality.”

 Further, authorities seized the British Pounds, a UK travel visa and high-level clearance he had enjoyed from 2006 under the Obasanjo regime. British media is calling him “D1” for legal reasons.

Offor – aka “Sir Emeka Offor” -- is linked to a Houston, Texas-based oil company EHRC Energy, which was raided by the FBI in 2006. Offor reportedly helped resolve a long running border dispute between Nigeria and Sao Tome through “gifts” to key political figures, and create an offshore development zone where international oil companies could bid for the rights to drill.

The current UK case tests the use of US-style bans on foreign nationals allegedly involved in corruption and other organised crime. A similar visa ban was imposed on Nigeria’s former Attorney General, Michael Aondoakaa and UK sources told Saharareporters that Nigerian officials linked with James Ibori’s criminality and perversion of justice would remain targets of exclusion orders.

The idea echoes similar efforts in the US, making it harder for alleged drugs dealers and corrupt foreign officials and businessmen to launder their money through British financial institutions and go shopping in London.

The case to restore Offor's suspended travel rights is in the UK immigration appeals court.

How many evil things have u committed in that ur little positn as a worker;lecturer,lawyer,doctor,pastor etc or self employed.No body in this life is living wiht out sin.If u are not opportuned to still like Sir E,as u claimed, u may have committed one thing or the other.Let me ask u, just be honest with ur self,if he were to be ur father will u talk this bullshit.My advice to u ppl is that u should fine something lucrative to do with ur brains instead of gissipping about ppl cos Bill Gate created the fucking avenue.To Sir E, do what u know that will help the growth and development or ppl country and the world at large.Also have this at the back of ur mind that u can never ever please every body.U are a good person...........sir.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

He is a great man

Sir Emeka Offor is a great man not everyone in his position can do what he is doing in this country. Hatters should stop hating and try to be like him when God blesses you as he has blessed him. LONG LIVR SIR EMEKA OFFOR...

I can see envy and hatred

I can see envy and hatred here,sir emeka offOr made legit money,his sincerity paved way for him in the face of late abacha...

The light in everyone.

He has done bad things in this world. However he also has created jobs for a numerous amount of people all around this world. There is good in everyone and even though it may be based off of profiting. He is also improving the lives of so many. In the world's history there have been alot of corrupt individuals who have made a career out of it. What others don't look at is that for every business one of those "corrupt" people have, it offers so many others the chance to live. Because of his actions and decisions whether good or bad has resulted in jobs and money so that people can support their families. God works in mysterious ways. With all the pain in suffering it is far to easy to forget the good that people do. Even if they are just trying to gain for themselves. when one person obtains more than what he needs their is a run-off of goods. He may be doing bad things but look at the good that has become of it. If you are a true christian that follow the New Testament that you won't disregard what i have wrote here. May God Bless Everyone of you on here. And God Bless Sir Emeka Offor.

once a theif is always a theif,period

sorry mister,if you don't know about somebody,you better keep your trap[mouth]shut.have you forgotten the wise sayiny that in every allegation there is an iota of truth? let me give you and others alike a previllage info about that THIEF AND A MURDER.in 1978 in lagos at oshodi area,Emeka Offor and his gang of thives[he was their gang leader]murdered a security guard and stole catapiller tires from a construction company and they were caught and locked at a police station in oshodi.and also within that preiod he hired a 911 truck falsley went to former [NNSC]in Isolo with forged documents to steal truck load of grain products,he was nearly caught at the gate he manage to escape abandorning the truck and the driver who did not know that he was dealing with a THIEF.the facts and figures are with me.EMEKA OFFOR IS A THIEF

Emeka Offor is a theif. For

Emeka Offor is a theif. For anyone reading this hes stealing money with his whore( Joy Chukwureh) who left her husband Christopher Obioha and her father Enoch Chukwureh is in Secret Society.
Emeka Offor owns chrome oil, Kaesch and he was awarded TAM several times but he looped all the money. Sir E as his is called is a shameless murderous illerate who was once a julius berger driver. I wonder why fbi has not probed him how he gets money. He owns a 3 million dollar house in Bel air California and so many other in dubai and all over the world.

God will expose them including there god fathers.

Let these people use this money to develope Nigeria for God's sake than taking it to abroad you can see up to date there is no light, good roads, shelter, Education and economy all are falling, which country is this that the major problem here is corruption.
Not only him God will expose them including there god fathers and they will be put into.

SHAMELESS ROGUE

He does nt deserve pity or should have right to an appeal

Lanre

re: he is a thief

You dont just call someone a thief if you have not caught him stealing.Emeka Offor is an astute business man simply put. I must say you are ill informed based on the assertions you have made in your contribution .You dont just call people (nigerians) names based on your thoughts alone. You really do need to unlearn those those ill conceived lessons and get well informed.

Port Harcourt Refinery!!

TAM (Turn Around Maintenance) Port Harcourt Refinery is ALWAYS turning around, but no fuel.
He may not be a politician, but not all thieves are politicians. In any case who made, or unmade, Mbadinuju of Anambra State?

WHERE IS OUR CONSCIENCE ?.

I STILL WONDER HOW A MAN WILL FEEL SO SECUREDLY RICH WITH STOLEN WEALTH IN THE MIDST OF POVERTY..MONEY MEANT FOR OUR HOSPITALS,ROADS,ELECTRICITY...ETC..THESE CALIBALS WILL SHARE IT WITH THEIR CRONIES..GOSH 700K GBP IS 160M NAIRA,BUT WHY? OUR YOUTHS ARE DYING ROBBERS,WHORES EVERYWHERE.I THANK GOD FOR THESE REASONABLE COUNTRIES IF THESE WORLD WAS FILLED WITH NIGERIANS ONLY AM SURE GOD HIMSELF WOULD HAVE DESTROYED IT LONG AGO !...IS HORRIBLE.

He Is A Thief !!!

That is the Nigerian style - being loud. If he does not sew and wear the money how the world would, it be known that he is a rich looter. I have said it repeatedly, 85% of Nigerians are educated illiterates, lack humility, pompous and arrogant, greedy as hell, charity minus and selfish to the bone, armed robber incarnate, diabolical thieves, 419ers and you name it. Sorry Mr. man, you cannot bribe yourself out of this one.

rumour mongers

this is definitely a rumor and makes no sense what so ever if emeka offor was caught with that amount of money he would have been arrested on the spot sahara reporters are always trying to spoil the good name of this man

@Ngozi

I dont think Emeka Offor involves himself much with Partisan Politics so much....I guess you are mixing him up with Chris Mba, and his cohorts.

Emeka Offor

Thank you Brititain and other civilized European countries.Mr.Offor and Co; deserve hanging. I am ashamed of the Igbos producing such bandits we have today in Igboland.Nigeria can only move forward if such as Babaginda,Atiku,OBJ,kalu,Ohakim,Chimaroke etc would be burnt alive.
Nigerians stop defending evil and rise to make Nigeria a better place to live. Eradicate illitrate so-called herbalists killing fellow human beings for ocult reasons etc.

DISCRIMINATE ACCUSATION

Please my dear commentators, let us be just and fair when we are accusing our fellow brothers of what we cannot defend when call upon. The havoc he might have cause in Anambra was to protect his political interest and camp. This happen everywhere. Let us not black list our brother before the so call white people because the will never deject the brother in preference of Nigger. Let deal with our problem internally then allow this people who hate us to take charge.

THE SAME PERSON?

pls is this emeka offor the same and one person that was alleged to have wrecked havoc through pdp during the regime of chinweoke mbadinuju in anambra state?pls ,i need an answer.thanks

THE SAME PERSON?

PLS ,IS THIS EMEKA OFFOR THE SAME AND ONE PERSON THAT WAS ALLEGED TO HAVE WRECKED HAVOC THROUGH PDP IN ANAMBRA STATE DURING THE REGIME OF MBADINUJU?PLS I NEED AN ANSWER

Save for Sani Abacha, Emeka

Save for Sani Abacha, Emeka Offor would today have remained a Julius Berger Truck driver.
After been recruited with James Ibori by Abacha hit men, to assassinate the late Rilwana and other marked adversaries of Abachas Govt, Offor made his first evil fortune and there after as he carries out more assassinations he got his Oil block. remember the attempt on Ibru's life and Abiola's wife. His evil deeds extended into Babangida and Obasanjo's oppositions killing machine

Thanks you Britain

I am glad this is happening. They should ban all of them from buying houses or investing our stolen money from them. And by the way Sr, thanks for reporting this, but the term "landmark" almost suggests some kind of support. Perhaps the best title should have been "Emeka offor in a desperate bid to stay in Britain and enjoy his loot"

Why is Efcc quiet on Emeka Offor?

Alams was caged for less than that amount by Ribadu the tribalist. The likes of Emeka Offor are the real enenmies of Nigeria. They are the ones who twist and turn the brains of our ministers and governors, then re-sell them to EFCC.They are the local moles. How did he make his money in the oil sector. If the entire Niger Delta, had just one Emeka Offor who wants to me my president, the ppl of the South South, wld have been beaming with smile to Swiss banks-Orji Kalu will soon meet his waterloo. So will Andy Uba. When thieves from the far east-are criticised for their thieveries even in foreign land, the regional rebranders tag them premodial thoughts-but when it concerns Alams and Ibori it becomes modern ideas for them to market here. Was emeka offor paid to turn the refineries around? Why is EFCC quiet on him. There thiefs and there are real THIEVES in Nigeria. Emeka is a TIV.

Very good. It's nice the

Very good. It's nice the borders are being locked against our thieving elites in and around the corridors of power and their visa revoked. When that is done and they have no where else to run to, the poor masses whose lives they have ruined can then descend on them in the name of political assassination, kidnapping and the likes or what else do you expect? It's boomerang!

Emeka Offor

His man Emeka won the contract for the Turn Around Maintenance of one our refinaries but what did we get out of it, yes nothing. His likes has been in govt circle doing dirty deals for so long that he deserves to cool off in a jail by now. I truely wish him so

Can't win...

Although he was 'victimised' by FBI etc, it was wrong for him to stash £700,000 in his trousers. I cannot see him winning the case. A clean man would not do that. He is not a stark illiterate.

@Deri you are talking shit!

@Deri you are talking shit! The story is not about one of your Niger Delta/South-South thieves that you love to stick up for so much. Everything for you has to be tribal/We vs.Them mentality. Why can't we just called a spade a spade and a thief a thief and forget other primordial and primitive tribal leaning sentiments?

You come here and bash other looters but once its a person of Niger Delta origin you turn defensive. What has Ibori or GEJ got to do with this story?
Emeka Offor and the rest of the looters and thieves will be brought to book.

Emeka Offor

If you mean well why can't you do an ordinary bank transfer????If that cash is legit.Take a cue from IBORI.You will soon be caged.God has given you enough grace

UK EXEMPT YOURSELF, THEY WANT TO CORRUPT ALL FOR GAIN

THE BETTER SOME COUNTRIES START KNOWING THAT OUT OF DESPERATION TO FORCE US TO BE ONE, THEY WANT TO CO-OPT SOME COUNTRIES TO HAVE ONE STRONG HIDDEN CORRUPT PORTFOLIO WITH THEM, SO AS TO SERVE AS "SHUT-UP" POINT OR HEDGE/SUPPORT TO THEIR QUEST TO TIE US AGAINST OUR FREEDOM.WHEN ALLOWED, THOSE COUNTRIES THEY CO-OPT IN THEIR EVIL WOULD BECOME STAKEHOLDERS OF THE FRAGILE NATIONS WE CALL NIGERIA, SO THEY FEEL. IT IS LIKE THEIR BID TO SELL BANKS OR CBN ITSELF SO AS WE CAN HAVE HÚGE FIGHTERS AGAINST OUR WILL TO BE FREE AND DEVELOP. IT IS LIKE BANKOLE BID FOR THE NATIONS TO BORROW TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO CREATE STRONG STAKEHOLDERS AS HEDGE TO DOWNFALL.IT IS LIKE ABDUCTIONS OF HUMANS FOR MONEY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO PAY AMOUNT REQUIRED TO BECOME OR FIELD AS A GOVERNOR CANDIDATES IN PDP OR SO.IT IS LIKE CORRUPTION AS A CATALYST FOR THE MOVEMENT OF MONEY FROM RICH REGIIONS TO RICH REGIONS. IT IS LIKE CORRUPTION FOR IMAGE TARNISHING SO AS TO REDUCE MOST EMINENT PERSONALITIES IN SOME REGIONS. IT IS LIKE PROMOTING A PRIMARY SCHOOL LEAVER TO BECOME CUSTOM DUTY COMPTROLLER IN ORDER TO MAKE HIM BECOME WHATEVER EVIL THEY COMMAND HIM TO DO.
