END of the road have come for Kizzy Kalu, a-47 year old Ibo Nigerian whose criminal source of livelihood is to allegedly lure innocent foreigners to United States on promises of non-existent jobs with fake bogus salaries. He is the ringleader of this cartel in United States and many ignorant travelers seeking greener pastures abroad had fallen for his tricks. As says in Africa “Every day for the thief, but one day for the owner, “ his reign of deceit and lies have crumbled like ‘a pack of cards’ with his arrest by Police.
Kalu’s Crimes in America
Naija Standard observed that Kalu is currently in trouble in the United States for allegedly luring foreigners to America to work for a non-existent university before setting them up with menial jobs and stealing almost half of their salaries.
Criminal Charges against him
Kalu, Naija Standard investigation reveal is facing charges of visa fraud, forced labor, money laundering, human trafficking, criminal forfeiture and mail fraud in what the government described as an elaborate scheme and ring leader of a criminal gang.
His Method of Operation & How his American Accomplice Fled
Naija Standard further investigation showed that Kalu is accused of enticing foreign nurses to work as teachers at Adam Universityâ in Denver, which his alleged accomplice, Philip Langerman, 77 year old American, according to the police.
Langerman of Georgia, who was also indicted despite still being at large, is accused of representing that the fake university needed nursing instructors, allowing foreign nationals to get work visas.
Fake Visas to lure Innocent Victims
To convince and deceive an unsuspecting victim, Kalu, made a salary of between $68,000 and $72,000 annually from the scam by asking his clients to pay fees to into his company’s Foreign Healthcare Professional Group (FHPG), account in exchange for assistance in obtaining the visas.
Once they were in the United States, Kalu said that the positions were no longer available, and had them work for him at long-term care facilities that contracted with his company for employees and only pay 65 percent of the wages to his employees pocketing the rest.
Surely, this is a lesson for other nationals globally to learn from because “Not all that Glitters are Gold.”
