The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has secured the
conviction of Ohiaeri Stanley Chukwudi for love scam. A statement from
the antigraft agency says Chukwudi while posing as William Robert,
residing in Texas, United States of America, lured Olivia, Jesse Marie
and Kristiana into a romantic relationship. He conned them of a total

of being in a romantic relationship with them and thereby committed an
offence punishable under Section 322 of the Penal Code, Laws of the
Federation (Abuja) 1990.”
