Synopsis
Scammers of the Dictators Realm is a masterful fictional expose of military dictatorship and the rise of international financial scams in the country of Nigeria, and the determination of the subsequent democratically-elected authority to extirpate the phenomenon. The story sheds light on the Nigerian society during the military dictatorship, weaving a story around a scammed American investor and many hilarious moments of daily life under the military rule. In the story, the trio of Albert Dyke, Obata Ohasum and Vincent Ekey fronts a business enterprise for the purpose of engaging in financial scams. They score a hit when a fake proposal to bid on a government supply contract attracts the interest of Mark Fisher, an American citizen from the State of New York. First Mark has to invest $400,000 in bribe money to the army general in charge of the contract award process for the bid to succeed. Mark puts up the money, then suspects later that a scam has occurred. The trio plans Mark s murder, then lures him to Nigeria for a crucial meeting they wanted to forestall future prosecution for their crime. The trio escapes punishment for their crime until a democratically-elected president takes over. He has a tough agenda against financial scam artists and the case of the trio is prosecuted at his instigation. Until judgment was rendered in the celebrated case, it wasn t certain what the learned high court judge s decision would be rule in favour of the defendants who had a defense team of legal luminaries or succumb to the suspected pressures from the president to find the defendants guilty.
