A north London pensioner is due to be sentenced after using "prayer sessions" to help defraud fellow churchgoers out of tens of thousands of pounds.
Serial fraudster Richard Abeson, currently wanted by Belgian police for a similar con, claimed he was a wealthy Nigerian oil trader with a fortune tied up in his home country.
London's Southwark Crown Court heard he told his victims their money would not only help him move the funds to Britain but would win them "substantial" pay-offs.
Abeson, 70, of Cosway Street, Edmonton, admitted two counts of conspiracy to defraud "with others unknown" between August 31, 2004, and April 30, 2006.
