The victim, a retired civil servant in the United States, who arrived Nigeria on February 13, 2019, was lured by one Chukwuebuka Kasi Obiaku, a 34-year-old native of Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo State, whom she met on Facebook.
She was rescued by IRT operatives, Ogun State Annex, around the Meiran area of Lagos State.
The rescue of the American lady is coming on the heels of a similar case of an abducted Filipino lady who was lured to Nigeria by her supposed lover whom she also met on Facebook.
Police said Obiaku, a graduate of Business Administration and Management and an internet fraudster, who has reportedly defrauded many unsuspecting members of the public both locally and internationally, lured the victim into the country under the pretext of love and deceitfully married her on May 15, 2019. He subsequently held her captive in a hotel, extorted from her monies amounting to a total of $48,000.
He also forcefully collected and took control of her credit and debit cards as well as the operation of her bank accounts including the receipt of her monthly retirement benefits and allowances over the period of fifteen months.
Chukwuebuka also used the victim as a front to defraud her associates and other foreign personalities and companies.
Police said, in a statement, that he will be charged to court on conclusion of investigation and prosecuted in line with the Cybercrime Prevention/Prohibition Act, 2015.
