THIS IS JUST TOO RICH! A Nigerian couple living the American dream decided they needed a little public “assistance” on the taxpayer’s dime. The wife falsified welfare applications in order to pull down more than $100,000! The kicker is that her husband was making $1.5 million at a D.C. law firm.

Helen Agbapuruonwu collected food stamps and Medicaid benefits from 2010 to 2016!

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.

Helen’s husband, Fidelis Agbapuruonwu, who immigrated to the U.S. from Nigeria in the 1990s, worked as an associate at Mayer Brown in D.C..  Agbapuruonwu received a Paul & Daisy Soros Scholarship for New Americans, which he used to pay for law school at Ohio State University.
