False Marriage: EFCC arrest Nigerian for duping American $200,000

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested one Chidozie Kingsley Nwachi for allegedly defrauding an American, Nicole Kierulff Sayers, after false marriage.

Nwachi was arrested in Abuja on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, based on the claims of Sayers, alleging that the suspect lured her into a false marriage and defrauded her of her savings.

“I was accustomed to transferring money to him. I had just married him, even though I did not feel confident in my choice to have married him,” the EFCC quoted her saying.

Items recovered from Nwachi include Toyota Venza and Lexus ES300, expensive wristwatches, two Apple iPhones, two iPhone laptops, an international passport and ATM cards.
