Woman Drags Ex-lover To Court For Duping And Refusing To Marry Her
A 42 -year- old man who dumped a
49 -year-old lover and secretly went
and married another woman has
landed in prison custody after he
failed to refund the money the ex -
lover allegedly gave him to set up his
business in Lagos State, western
Nigeria .
He was charged before Isolo
Magistrate ’s court with obtaining
under false pretence and remanded
in prison custody at Kirikiri.
According to police , Gerald Onuimo
allegedly defrauded his jilted lover ,
Christiana Ojukwu, by obtaining
N450 , 000 from her under false
pretence.
P .M . NEWS gathered that Onuimo
met Ojukwu five years ago and he
gave her false hope of marrying her,
which prompted her to give him the
money to invest in his business.
The incident happened at Fasehun
Street in Ago Palace Way Okota ,
Lagos where they met and lived.
When Onuimo ’s business eventually
picked up , he secretly went and
married another woman without
Ojukwu’s knowledge and later
informed her that he had got
married.
Jolted by his betrayal , Ojukwu asked
Onuimo to refund the money she
gave him to equip his shop in 2011
since he had breached their
agreement.
Onuimo reportedly refused to refund
the money and told her that he had
offered her his services worth more
than the amount over the years.
He also said there was no agreement
between them that he would refund
her money .
Ojukwu went to the police at Ago
Palace Way and reported the matter
and Onuimo was arrested and
charged to court where he pleaded
not guilty .
The presiding Magistrate , Mrs Joy
Ugbomoiko , granted him bail in the
sum of N 100 , 000 with one surety in
like sum.
Onuimo was remanded in prison
pending when he will perfect his bail
.
The matter was adjourned till 12
December , 2015.
When our reporter contacted
Onuimo on why he breached their
agreement , he said Ojukwu was far
older than him and too fat, as such
his family did not want her.
