The Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU), Ikoyi, Lagos, has arrested one Miss Cynthia Atuonah, 21, over a romance scam in which she allegedly duped a German of 220,000 dollars (N101 million)

Spokesperson of the police fraud unit, SP Eyitayo Johnson, stated in Lagos on Wednesday that the suspect, who claimed to be a model and owner of a massage spa known as “The-Chi-Place’’, lured the victim on Instagram.

The suspect, a 2019 graduate of Economics, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, lured the 50-year-old victim on Instagram by feigning romantic intentions towards him, thereby gaining the victim’s trust and goodwill.

“She promised to marry the victim; invited him to Nigeria for visits on several occasions and convinced him to emigrate to Nigeria so they could live together as husband and wife.

“In a ploy to dispel suspicion, the victim was made to meet with Atuonah’s parents at Ikot-Abasi, Akwa Ibom, where he received their blessings to marry the suspect.

The suspect persuaded the victim to return to Germany to sell his house in Stuttgart and forward the proceeds of sale together with his pensions and life savings to her domiciliary account at Fidelity Bank plc.

“The purpose of the money was to buy a house in Nigeria where they will both live as husband and wife as well as to establish a joint business outfit as indicated in the bank transfer narration,’’ he stated.

Johnson added that the suspect admitted that 220,000 dollars were transferred to her account by the victim.

“She said part of the proceeds was used to buy a 2-bedroom terrace apartment at Zara Estate, Ikota Villa, Lekki Phase II.

“Some of the money was also used to support her mother’s business and to pay the medical bills of her father, according to her’’ he stated

Johnson stated also that efforts were ongoing to recover other proceeds of the crime.

He added that Cynthia would be charged in court as soon as the investigation was concluded.

Not supporting yahoo but you advocating for death penalty for the crime is senseless. How about your politicians who steal billions as if it means nothing. They are the worst set of criminals that deserve death sentence

Let's start with death penalty for internet fraud then with time progress to death penalty for corruption!

Progress is progress

Scammers and armed robbers are as heartless as witches, and deserve no mercy when caught.
But why do people fall prey so easily to these scumbags? Simply lack of discretion,greed,lust, and blindly trusting .

“Some of the money was also used to support her mother’s business and to pay the medical bills of her father, according to her’’ he stated

Her Father and her Mother should be charged with her, they knew it was proceed of crime or how did their dull e-diot daughter come into hundred of million of Naira.

Father, Mother & Daughter should be sent off to prison as a team.

Just look at the anorexic fugly thing, meeting someone who could change her entire life, her stupid slow brain couldn’t even process the right move to make with the good hearted man

Let me tell you, My senior brother was brought down to square one many years ago so am a victim indirectly but here you're referring to me as a fraudster simply because I disagreed with your death penalty advocation for fraudsters when our leaders are raping our economy dry and nothing is done about it. Be careful with words young man, you may get your self into trouble with your utterances

Death penalty to all scammers and fraudsters!

If the government is good or doing the right thing,these fraud issues will reduce.. Imagine magu a former efcc Chairman was accused of fruad and suspended. In suspension he was promoted and retired.. Who is now fooling who? So the death penalty should start with corrupt leaders first..
