A Nigerian solicitor residing in the United Kingdom is on the run after being charged with a £12million scam. Seun Ajayi is being charged with conspiracy to launder money, but has failed to answer bail. He was said have conned mortgage lenders and banks out of more than £12 million between 2004 and 2009.
Speaking to the press, a neighbour of Seun Ajayi in South Rise Emma Hawken: “He was easy to talk to and fantastic company. A lovely fellow. My husband even used him as a reference when he applied for a position on The Law Society.”
The 46-year-old was due to appear at court in Ipswich in May, but skipped bail and has been on the run ever since. This week, a show on BBC Television called Crimestoppers named him as one of its most-wanted fraudsters.
The Show’s regional manager Ann Scott said: “Seun has allegedly made a lot of money from this, and in the end it is us who pays the bill.”
Seun is understood to have lived at an address in Carshalton, with his wife and four children, for at least five years. He is currently no where to be found.
