Yahoo Boy Arrested After Falsely Marrying American Woman And Duping Her $200,000

Operatives of Nigeria’s EFCC have arrested a suspected Nigerian fraudster, Chidozie Kingsley Nwachi after duping an American, Nicole Kierluff Sayers, out of $200,000.

The fraudster used a false marriage as well as a fake contract to carry out his fraud.

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC arrested one Chidozie Kingsley Nwachi, (a.k.a Dozie) for allegedly marrying an American: Nicole Kierulff Sayers falsely, and defrauding her $200,000 (Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in the process.

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 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”, she said.

Nwachi’s ploy of defrauding his “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 wristwatches, two Apple iPhones, two iPhone laptops, an international passport and multiple Automated Teller Machine, ATM, and cards.
