    Looks like Akpo is involved as well...

    Prosecutor Julian Christopher QC told jurors that money was sent to accounts belonging to Ehikhamen and Akpo Sodje, another brother of the Efe Sodje and Sam Sodje. Akpo Sodje now lives in Dubai and has declined to return to Britain to be interviewed by detectives.

    And we always used to make jokes about some Nigerian Crown Prince needing money urgently!!

    Akpo is mentioned as well, though he now lives in Dubai

    Sam Sodje is given as being from Dartford...

    I feel so sorry for the Sodjes. First they're the victims of entrapment for "spot fixing" for some ludicrous claims that they would get sent off for money and now this.

    Akpo's done well for himself hasn't he? Sam, seemingly, not quite so well.

    The real question is... Where is Onome Sodje amongst all this

    Is he the innocent Brother or is he still on the run?

    He's a cousin not a brother....

    EDIT: nephew (to Sam, Akpo and Efe etc)

    There are actually 10 Sodje siblings. Not sure if any of them are called Innocent though.

    Sounds like there is one called "Bright Sodje" who played Rugby... Guess he's had the sense to stay away

    When I worked in banking and dealt with fraud and money laundering on a regular basis.
    A member of the fraud squad told me that there was a Nigerian "school" in East London that trained people in fraudulent best practice.

    Woolwich, followed by East Ham were the identity fraud capitals of the UK 6 years ago.
    Lewisham just missed out on bronze in 4th place.

    Nice to see the whole family involved. Sam Sodje had a gift for ridiculous sending offs....
