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 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.
