Nigerian Arrested For Swindling UK Lady The Sum Of N20M

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a suspected fraudster, Obiechina Chikeluba for allegedly swindling Kieran Oakes, a UK citizen, the sum of £54,000 (equivalent of N20m) in what seems like a love scam.
PM news reports that Chikeluba, a 21-year-old student of Federal College of Science and Technical Yaba, Lagos, met the victim on
Facebook
sometime in 2013.

It was gathered that the suspect, using the assumed profile of an American, Lisa Jackson, entered into a relationship with Oakes, with the pair agreeing to get married.

In the course of their relationship, ‘Jackson’ (Mr. Chikeluba) at various times collected money accumulated to the sum of £54,000 (N20M) from Oakes, to enable him travel to the UK to meet her.
It however dawned on the Kieran that she might have just been swindled after an endless wait for her fiancé which prompted her to file a petition to EFCC.

Operatives of the Commission arrested Chikeluba in a sting operation on February 24, 2015 in Lagos while attempting to collect a parcel sent to him.
Mr. Obiechina Chikeluba will appear in court as soon as investigation is concluded.
