Seems that at least one of those Nigerian stories was based on reality:
"The $55 million estate of Timothy Olufemi Akanni came to the attention of the authorities after his death in a plane crash last October. The forfeited assets include 23 bank accounts in various names; shares in leading Nigerian banks; houses and land in the most sought-after parts of Lagos and Abuja; schools in Abuja and a variety of motor vehicles."

Damn...
