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.

I feel embarrassed as a Nigerian the way so many Nigerians are caught doing this scam of a thing all over the world. It would not have been this bad if the scam doesn't paint other innocent Nigerians as fraudsters. Several videos on YouTube where you will see Nigerians all over the world being caught in this act disturbs me. I just pity those Nigerians who travel to foreign countries often for genuine reasons.

NOT WELL PLANNED JOB

He should be punished for doing d job like a novice without a very tactical foundation.

A law should be passed that once A FRAUDSTER IS CAUGHT, HIS/HER PARENT(S) OR GUARDIAN SHOULD EQUALLY BE ARRESTED.

MAJORITY of parents and guardians know and encourage their child/ward in this illicit business. From Festac, Ajao Estate, Ajah, Isolo, Surulere, Lugbe, Ibadan , Owerri and other regions where internet scam is the "bomb" business amongst the youths, most of the parents know and benefit from the loot.

But unfortunately, even the parents are bigger criminals.



IF YOU ARE A FRAUDSTER AND YOU FEEL HURT AT MY POST AND GO AHEAD TO TRY TO INSULT ME, MAY THUNDER STRIKE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DRY AND STILL LIKE THE PILLAR OF SALT LUTS WIFE BECAME.
