Helen Agbapuruonwu “fraudulently obtained public assistance in excess of $100,000 under false pretenses” police allege, and she has been charged “with felony welfare fraud and document forgery,” according to a police report.

Fidelis Agbapuruonwu, who immigrated to the U.S. from Nigeria in the 1990s, worked as an associate at Mayer Brown in D.C., according to his LinkedIn profile. A spokesman for Mayer Brown told NBC 4 that Agbapuruonwu no longer works there. Agbapuruonwu received a Paul & Daisy Soros Scholarship for New Americans, which he used to pay for law school at Ohio State University.

Court officials believe that Agbapuruonwu may have “fled the country and is somewhere in Africa,” NBC News reports.

Dr. Bogus Agbapuruonwu Pachysandra does roll rather trippingly off the tongue, you must admit. The rhythm and alliteration are almost musical.

How do we know the checks aren’t still being auto-deposited into a bank account??

At the least, I could envision some fedgov lefty zealot shuffling the processing of the stop payment orders to the bottom of the in-basket...

Lets dry up illegal immigration, which by definition reduces welfare and medical expenses, arrest welfare and medicare frauds and then enjoy the reduction in the huge waste and fraud of human services spending.

The “government” for nothing. It is the taxpayers’ money taken from them.

In WDC area, if you are a minority of any kind it is most often a “get out of jail free” card. You can play it throughout your life. Typically the government entities “retrain” the government employees if they commit crimes. There most often are no consequences for illegal behavior.

I believe they had to have someone here to vouch for them, agree to support or help support them as well-—they also assimilated into our culture and were proud to be and raise their kids as Americans-—that was before we citizens allowed politicians to run the show, steal all they could and give the rest away to ensure getting the vote to re-elect them to office again to steal more, give the rest away to insure re-election again and again—and so it goes and here we are-—if I had to fight in WW3 (too old at 94) as I did for 5 yrs of WW2 to “protect and defend” this mess, you would never find me as Trump will never be able to rid us of crooked politicians who steal the country blind—cheers

Thank you for your service. I’m a tweener Marine - between end of Korea and start of Vietnam. I do believe that there is a concerted push to be rid of “old” people. How else can they keep SS afloat?
