    The suspect, Obiechina Chikeluba, met the victim on   sometime in 2013. The suspect, using the assumed profile of an American, Lisa Jackson, entered into a relationship with Oakes, with the pair agreeing to get married.

    After an endless wait for her fiancé, it dawned on the Briton that she had been conned, and consequently petitioned the EFCC.

    Operatives of the Commission arrested Chikeluba in a sting operation on February 24, 2015 in Lagos while attempting to collect a parcel sent to him.

    According to a release by the EFCC, he will appear in court as soon as investigation is concluded.
