Romance Scam: US Woman Freed After 16 Months As Hostage In Nigeria. by the360report(m): 2:08am On Jul 14, 2020 |
An American woman lured to Nigeria by a promise of marriage from a man she met on Facebook has been rescued after being held captive for more than a year, police say. The 46-year-old was held against her will in a hotel room in Lagos. The suspect Chukwuebuka Obiaku, 34, "took control" of the unnamed victim's credit and debit cards, and retirement benefits, according to the police. Over a period of 15 months she was forced to part with $48,000 (£38,000). The victim is a retired civil servant from Washington DC. complete story from the source below https://www.the360report.com/2020/07/14/romance-scammers-3-nigerians-arrested-in-nigeria-for-holding-us-woman-hostage-for-16-months-in-the-name-of-love/

There's something not right about this story.. She Arrives, enjoys life, marries after 3 months.. No coercion seen at the marriage registry to raise alarms by officials or witnesses... She then sits in a hotel for another 12-13 months, likely to be paid by her given the scruffy looking gentleman/ conman Was she hypnotised or what?? She couldn't have been kept bound in a hotel.. In some cave or off-road house, maybe but not in a hotel in a city for 16 months+ Details of this case should be made available before dirt is hurled at us collectively as a people. Yes there are a few bad eggs within, as is found in every nation.. But I find the press very elusive with details and pseudo-defamatory in outlook. This story doesn't add up at all! . |
