Exposed: How "Prince" Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew Ran a 15-Year Scam

He styled himself as "Prince" despite having no royal claim. Since his LAUTECH days, he invented titles, fake UN credentials and personal awards to defraud Nigerians. In 2016 he hailed himself President-General of a bogus World Youth Organisation and claimed to be a UN aide. The real charity publicly warned against his fraud. He sold summit forms in Ogbomoso and charged ₦600, scamming local students and youth. By 2023 he landed a senior aide role in Osun State government but was fired for forgery. In March 2024 he forged a presidential appointment letter, opened dozens of bank accounts and ran a sham federal operation for 19 months. This 15-year trail of deception exposed repeated institutional failures. Every official warning went unheeded. What does this say about our system when such audacity meets no real consequence?

How do we think someone pulled off this scheme for fifteen years without anyone raising serious red flags sooner?

You're right, it's surprising nobody spotted the clues earlier. Makes you wonder how deep the deception ran.

It's surprising how he recycled various fake titles and credentials, yet nobody seemed to verify a single claim.

I get the outrage, but it seems odd so many people accepted those inflated claims without even a simple background check.

This case reminds us to always cross-check credentials and ask for verifiable proof before trusting anyone's self-proclaimed titles.
