Find the EFCC press statement below...
A suspected fraudster, Emeofa Michael Ikechukwu (Alias
Michael Briggs) was on March 10, 2015 docked before
Justice H.A Nganjiwa of the Federal High Court Port
Harcourt, Rivers State by the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a 9-count charge bordering
on personation, forgery and obtaining money by false
pretence to the tune of more than $127,457.
The accused person allegedly obtained the sum from his
Swiss girlfriend whom he tricked into investing in a non-
existent timber business.
Ikechukwu allegedly met his victim on a dating site in February
2013 and struck a relationship that blossomed into promise of
marriage. “Michael Briggs”, introduced himself to his victim as a
timber tycoon who was in Nigeria to close a business deal. He
later informed her that he was having some difficulties with
Nigerian officials and requested for loan from her.
He later sent various scam documents to her, offering her
partnership in his timber business in Nigeria. By the time she
realised that she was dealing with a trickster, she had lost over
$100,000 to the accused.
One of the count reads: “That you Emeofa Michael Ikechukwu
(Alias Michael Briggs) sometime in April , 2013, in Port Harcourt
and within the jurisdiction of this Honourable court with intend to
defraud, did obtain the sum of $77,003.95 (seventy seven
thousand, three dollar ninety five cents) from one Hengameh
Misepasi and which you purportedly claimed to be a business
partner dealing with timber which pretext you knew to be false
and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1 (1) (b)
of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences
Act 2006 and punishable under section 1 (3) of the same Act”.
The accused person pleaded to guilty to the charges. In view of
the plea of the accused, the prosecuting counsel Sadiq Hussain
applied for a date for trial . The judge remanded the accused
in prison and adjourned the case to May 16, 2015 for hearing
of bail application.
