Gobe!! Loverboy Arrested Arrested After Promising 5 Women Marriage
A 29-year old man, Chukwuemeka Obodozie
who was involved in a marriage fraud and
used it to obtain money by tricks from five
different women has landed in more trouble
after he absconded from court where he’s
expected to face trial in Lagos.
The court has declared him wanted while his
in-law, Jude Iheruo, who stood as surety for
him at the Magistrate’s court sitting in Ejigbo,
has been arrested and remanded in prison.
Iheruo was arrested and arraigned in court on
Friday for failing to produce Chukwuemeka the
lover oy in court as he had earlier promised
and enter into N50,000 bond in the court
before the suspect was released to him.
According to PM Express, so far, five women
have showed up and narrated on how
Chukwuemeka promised them marriage at
almost the same time, obtained huge sums of
money from them and dumped all of them
when he was discovered to be a scammer and
later disappeared.
One of the women (name withheld) reported
the matter to the police.
Chukwuemeka was arrested and charged
before the court with fraud.
The ‘lover boy’ was granted bail but remanded
in prison custody before Iheruo went to the
court and stood as his surety. But he later
jumped bail, thus when he repeatedly refused
to appear in court, the court then ordered the
arrest of Iheruo who had promised to produce
Chukwuemekae when required to face trial.
At the court on Friday, Iheruo said that since
he is married to Chukwuemeka’s sister, when
he was arrested and charged to court, he felt
obliged to stand as one of the sureties
because he was his in-law.
He said when Chukwuemeka was released
from custody and the matter was adjourned
severally for trial, he later traveled out of
Lagos.
He lamented that whenever he called him on
phone, he mostly shun his calls and whenever
he picked, he will asked him to go and sort out
himself as he was no longer ready to face any
trial.
Unfortunately, Iheruo was charged with an act
of intentional showing disrespect to the court
by failing to produce Chukwuemeka in court
after entering into a bond as fit and suitable
person to stand as surety for the suspect.
He pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate, Mrs J.O.E. Adeyemi
granted him bail and surety in like sum. He
was remanded in prison pending when he will
perfect his bail condition.
