The Schomburg
Center is a jewel in Harlem, New York. Click
for the story by Lookman Sulaimon Arounfale, a member of the
exceedingly wealthy Ojora royal family of Lagos.
After more than 2
decades in the US, he lives in East New York in housing subsidized by
New York City, (he pays USD403 a month for his 4-bedroom apartment); he
rents out rooms to Nigerian small businessmen.
He is the constant
companion of
Dr Nkechi Agwu, 2009-2011 president of AAUW NYC Inc, and was appointed
by her public relations officer of AAUW NYC inc.
She also hired for him
an assistant paid with AAUW NYC Inc funds. Only he and Dr Agwu have
access to petty cash and bank accounts at AAUW New York City Inc, which
has liquid and real estate assets of over USD6million.
When Mr Sulaimon was
elected assistant treasurer of AAUW NYC Inc in 2010, he immediately
started moving money from accounts and has since set up, with Dr Agwu,
19 bank accounts according to the lawyer they meet with in secret and
pay with AAUW NYC inc funds.
This article was given to MJoTA in 2010 by
Mr Sulaimon. Full disclosure:
I was at a reception for the prime-minister of Grenada when the Brooklyn police called me and told me they had arrested Lookman on 3 counts: attempted rape, harassment with death threats and auto theft.I sat in the police station for 3 hours, in my lovely Nigerian white clothes, trying to get Lookman released.
Dr Susanna has 2 New York Civil Court judgments
against Mr Sulaimon of USD4,520 and USD2,830, and the New York Police
Department returned her car when Mr Sulaimon
would not.
Mr
Sulaimon's criminal trial for unlawful use of a car has been adjourned
until March 20, 2012, according to New York database ecrims. He was arrested in 2006 for assault, of one of his wives, these charges were dropped in 2007, according to NYS records.
On March 25, 2011, Mr Sulaimon sent out a series of 4 emails to each of the 120 members of AAUW NYC. The emails had 16 attachments of altered and faked documents that were supposed to have come from me. The purpose of the email was not clear, but it was extremely humiliating. I protested it to the then-president of AAUW NYC, Nkechi, who responded by saying that I was the guilty one, and I should never contact her again by email, text or phone. I protested it to the president of AAUW Manhattan, Mildred DeWitt, whose response was to tell me to go away, everyone knew that I was jealous of Nkechi's close personal relationship with Mr Sulaimon.
Four days later I got a call at 2am from a Nigerian Yoruba friend, who told me he had spoken with Mr Sulaimon and I was so evil that I was a devil and he would assault me if he ever saw me again in an African event dressed in African clothes. Two days later I offered my hand in peace to Mr Sulaimon in Borough Hall in Brooklyn, he responded by yelling at the top of his lungs that I needed to leave him alone. I walked out of Borough Hall and into Family Court where I was given a full restraining order against Mr Sulaimon showing up anywhere I was, including 111 East 37th St, and AAUW New York State Convention.

September 2011.
I was invited to the annual convention of Egbe Omo Yoruba, in Long Island.
I was met by the publisher of AfroHeritage magazine, which was just as well, because the men at the desk told me I could not be there. Lookman had told them I would cause trouble.
Well, Lookman failed to have me evicted, which was interesting, because who should show up to spend the weekend with him but his constant companion Nkechi Agwu, who with Lookman managed to disappear $100,000 of AAUW funds.
The Gala was even more interesting. Sitting in the table next to me was Janet Ogundipe Fashakin, the idiot nurse-lawyer-pastor-PhD-Nigerian woman who runs around claiming her father rose from the dead after 3 days, and who sued me for $20million in Federal Court.
