Man Who Duped American $200,000 On False Marriage In EFCC Net

A middle aged man identified as Chidozie Kingsley Nwachi, popularly known as Dozie has been arrested for marrying one American, Nicole Kierulff Sayers falsely, and defrauded her of $200,000 (Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in the process.

Nwachi was arrested in Abuja on February 15, 2023, by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) based on Sayers’ petitions, alleging that the fake lover persuaded her into a false marriage and defrauded her of her savings.

She said, “I was accustomed to transferring money to him and further felt I had no choice, since I had just married him, even though I did not feel confident in my choice to have married him.”

Nwachi’s gambit of defrauding his alleged “wife” was the offer of a phony contract by the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, Abuja.

He allegedly made Sayers finance the execution of the contract until the petitioner contacted the Ministry with the contract papers and discovered that they were fake.

Realising that Nwachi had sold her a dummy, Sayers lamented that: “I have been suicidal on and off, when I realized he was a fraud, as I was drowning financially and facing bankruptcy.”

Items recovered from the suspect include two cars: Toyota Venza and Lexus ES300, expensive wrist watches, two Apple iPhone, two iPhone laptops, an international passport and multiple Automated Teller Machine, ATM, cards. A sum of $2204( Two Thousand, Two Hundred and Four United States Dollars) was also recovered from him.

He will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
