The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, said it arrested
Iwuchukwu Uche for obtaining money under false pretence to the tune of USD145,
000.
Mr. Uche, who said he
was a military officer working for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
NATO, in Kabul, Afghanistan, allegedly collected the money from his victim, H.
Uyen, a Vietnamese woman, after promising to marry her.
The suspect, who also
claimed to be a property agent operating in Nigeria and Ghana, allegedly told
the victim that he needed the money to procure some documents for the planned
wedding.
The money was allegedly
wired to the suspect’s Diamond Bank account number: 0028998256.
The suspect will soon
be charged to court, after investigation is concluded, a statement signed by
EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren.
