Nigerian conman whose ‘lottery win’ fraud cheated pensioners out of £5m life savings weeps as he is jailed
- Godwin Nwaofor had a ‘suckers list’ of target victims to send bogus letters
- The letters were sent by a ‘lottery agent’ targeting mainly American pensioners informing them they had won the Australian Lottery
- He received around £1million from the scam and blew the money on luxury cars, gold jewellery and expensive champagne at top nightclubs in London
- Nwaofor helped another Nigerian, Frank Onyechonam, who was nicknamed ‘Fizzy’ for his love of vintage champagne and jailed for eight years in 2014
- Judge Richard Hone QC had little sympathy for Nwaofor, who broke down in tears at Central Criminal Court as he was jailed for seven years
