A suspected internet fraudster, Emeofa
Michael Ikechukwu has been arrested by
the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, for allegedly obtaining
the sum of One hundred thousand
United States Dollars from a Dane,
Hengameh Misepasi in a romance scam.
Ikechukwu who also go by the alias,
Michael Briggs , was picked up in Port
Harcourt, Rivers State, by the
Commission’s operatives following a
petition from the Nigerian Embassy in
Stockholm, Sweden.
The suspect allegedly met the victim
online in February 2013 and falsely
represented himself as an American
business executive on business visit to
Nigeria.
In the course of the internet affair,
Ikechukwu promised his victim
marriage and later began to make
monetary demands on her, using
various excuses. Once, he told her that
he had problems with government
officials and requested for a loan. He
later cajoled her into partnering with
him on a phantom timber business. The
last request he made before he was
arrested was a demand for $10,000 to
enable him travel to Denmark to meet
her. It was while he was attempting to
draw the $100 sent by the victim
( instead of the $10,000 requested)
through Western Union that he was
arrested. The suspect would be
arraigned in court as soon as
investigation is completed.
