US-Based Nigerian Lady Duped by a Police Inspector


Chukwu and Veronica after their wedding in America




A  Nigerian lady based in the United States of America, Miss Veronica Okwara, has accused an inspector in the Nigeria Police Force, Anthony Chukwu, of defrauding her of N9 million under the false pretence of marrying her.



Veronica, a medical director (administration) in North Carolina USA, alleged that Chukwu, attached to X Squad Section Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex, Lagos, southwest Nigeria converted the proceeds  from the sale of vehicles and other imported items she asked him to sell on her behalf, for his personal use, after he had a fake wedding with her.

After the wedding, Veronica  informed Chukwu about her plans to import cars and other goods to Nigeria for sale.  And he agreed to receive the goods  in Nigeria and help her sell them.
She said she trusted Chukwu and shipped ome items including vehicles to him to sell in Lagos and remit the money to her.

The items include: Toyota Sienna, Toyota 4 Runner, Nissan Path finder, Toyota Sequoia, Honda CRV and 25 pieces of labtops. She alleged that Chukwu sold the items including 14 vehicles and converted the money from the sale proceeds for his personal use.

She claimed that when she asked for her money, the inspector started threatening to arrest her.   When our reporter contacted Chukwu through his phone, he asked him to come to his office at FCID X Squad at Alagbon Lagos.

He said he knew the lady in question and admitted that the matter was  being investigate by  the Interpol. Chukwu declined to make further comment on the matter.
