A man, 30yrs, caught in EFCC's net for e-fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,
Monday, arraigned one Nwakanma Chukwudi before
Justice D. V. Agishir of the Federal High Court sitting in
Enugu, on a 12-count charge bordering on cyber crime,

obtaining money by false pretence and impersonation.
The suspect, aged 30, who claimed to be a British national
by name Barry Bernard, is being prosecuted for duping
one Donnalynn, a Canadian, who he met on a dating site.
The EFCC, in a statement by Head, Media & Publicity,
Wilson Uwujaren, said in the course of their romantic
affair, Chukwudi, who also claimed to be resident in
Manchester, United Kingdom, had sent several love mails
and pictures to Donnalynn.
Consequently, Donnalynn did not have any course to
doubt him when he requested for $26,520 Canadian dollars
from her, having been communicating with him over a
period of time.
When she later found out that she had been duped, she
petitioned the EFCC.
