A Nigerian businessman, Ifeanyi Ossai Nwabuonwu Idriss, is facing scrutiny after his company, CribProcure Inc., secured a $1.4 million contract from the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to supply bottled water for undocumented immigrants in New York City. However, recent investigations suggest that CribProcure Inc. was not properly registered or certified to conduct business with the city, raising concerns about how the contract was awarded.
Records show that CribProcure Inc. received multiple payments from the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), with contracts issued under the “accelerated procurement” process. This expedited method is typically used for urgent purchases but requires proper vendor certification—something CribProcure appears to lack.
