Ikechukwu who also go by the alias, Michael Briggs , was picked up in
Port Harcourt, Rivers State, by the Commission’s operatives following a
petition from the Nigerian Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden. Find the EFCC press statement below............The suspect allegedly met the victim online in February 2013 and falsely
represented himself as an American business executive on business
visit to Nigeria.
In the course of the internet affair, Ikechukwu promised his victim marriage and later began to make monetary demands on her, using various excuses. Once, he told her that he had problems with government officials and requested for a loan.
He later cajoled her into partnering
with him on a phantom timber business.
The last request he made before he was arrested was a demand for $10,000
to enable him travel to Denmark to meet her. It was while he was
attempting to draw the $100 sent by the victim( instead of the $10,000
requested) through Western Union that he was arrested.
The suspect would be arraigned in court as soon as investigation is
completed.
