A yahoo boy who falsely got married to an American lady, Nicole Kierulff Sayers, and allegedly defr@uded her of $200k have been arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja.
The suspect, identified as Chidozie Kingsley Nwachi a.k.a Dozie, was arrested on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, based on the claims of Sayers, alleging that the suspect lured her into a false marriage and defra@uded her of her savings.
“I was accustomed to transferring money to him and further felt I had no choice, since I had just married him, even though I did not feel confident in my choice to have married him,” she said.
Nwachi’s ploy of defrauding his “wife” was the offer of a phony contract by the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, Abuja. He allegedly made Sayers finance the execution of the contract until the petitioner contacted the Ministry with the contract papers and discovered that they were fake.
Realising that Nwachi had sold her a dummy, Sayers lamented that: “I have been sui**dal on and off, when I realized he was a fr@ud, as I was dr%wning financially and facing bankruptcy.”
Items recovered from the suspect include two cars: Toyota Venza and Lexus ES300, expensive wrist watches, two Apple iPhone, two iPhone laptops, an international passport and multiple ATM cards. A sum of $2204 was also recovered from him, EFCC said in a statement on Thursday.
