21-Year Old Student In EFCC Custody Over N20m Internet Love Scam

By -
A 21-year-old student, Obiechina Chikeluba, has
been arrested by operatives of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for allegedly
defrauding a Briton of N20 million in an internet
romance scam.
Chikeluba, a student of Federal Science and
Technical College, Yaba, Lagos, was said to have
met his victim, Kieran Oakes, on Facebook.
Vanguard gathered that the suspect, assuming
the profile of an American, Lisa Jackson, entered
into a relationship with Oakes, with the pair
agreeing to get married. EFCC disclosed that in
the course of their relationship, ‘Jackson,’ at
various times, collected money to the tune of
£54,000, which current value is N20 million, from
Oakes, to enable him travel to the UK to meet
her. Spokesman of EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said
the victim, after endless wait for her supposed
fiancé, discovered that he had been duped and
reportedly sent a petition to EFCC.
Wilson added that operatives of the commission,
in a sting operation on February 24, in Lagos,
arrested the suspect while he was attempting to
collect a parcel sent to him.“He will appear in
court as soon as investigation is concluded,” he
stated.

Hello ladies  it's your turn tonight. And thanks alot feel so good to have 9000+ view. Thanks to u guys 1. Don’t  have  any bills. If you’re deep in financial debt in this economy, and you meet a man who also has financial responsibilities, the likelihood that he will want to pay your bills is very slim. Single men have bills also, even if they don’t have children. The only single men without bills are most likely living in their parent’s basement or still sleeping in the room they grew up in. That man can’t pay anyone’s bills or he’d have his own house. And let’s be honest, if you were already dating the wealthiest caliber of men to begin with, you wouldn’t be looking for a man to pay your bills in the first place. 2. Don’t  ask  a man to pay your bills. Men look at women who ask for them to pay their bills as  gold diggers . And that’s me being nice. Men actually call women who ask them to pay their bills  garden tools . Here’s the thing, if you have something you can
