The Nigerian man arrested in Philippines

A Nigerian man accused of swindling thousands of pesos from a Filipina woman he met on a mobile dating app has been arrested in Las Piñas City, Philippines. 

Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested the suspect, Innocent Uchenna Nkwoka, with aliases Steve Edward and Agulu Prince, and his supposed female accomplice, Irene Lee Okoro, with alias Jackie Pascual, last January 17, the bureau announced today, Tuesday, January 22.

Another accomplice, a certain Ana Fe Sandoval, remains at large.

The NBI said it acted on a complaint of a woman who alleged she was blackmailed by one Agulu Prince, whom she met on Tinder in February 2018 and with whom she was supposedly engaged to by August.

The complainant, who was not named in the NBI's statement, alleged that with encouragement from Agulu Prince, she sent more than P50,000 to Sandoval, who claimed she was from the US Embassy, for the processing of her fiancée visa and other fees.

The NBI narrated that the complainant and her family went to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport last December to fetch Agulu Prince but that she was told by a self-described Customs employee that he had been held at the Cebu airport for carrying $800,000 into the country.


The complainant "sensed she was being duped" when she was asked to send P25,000 through a money remittance service for her fiance's release.

When she refused, Agulu Prince allegedly sent her a message demanding the amount and threatened he will leak her nude photos if she did not comply.

This prompted the complainant to send P10,000 to Sandoval, the NBI said. Agulu Prince allegedly demanded money from the complainant and dangled the same threat over her at other times, which made her turn to the NBI.

NBI surveillance operations led them to Pascual, who allegedly claimed the money sent by the complainant. Pascual told the investigators that she will meet Agulu Prince in Las Piñas, where operatives arrested him and recovered the mobile phone where the complainant's nude photos were stored.

The arrested duo face charges for swindling and robbery extortion in relation to the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 and for violation of the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
