An Isolo Magistrates’ court sitting in Lagos, has remanded a 42-year-old man, Onuimo Gerald in prison, for allegedly dumping his 49-year-old lover, Ojukwu Christiana, to secretly marry another woman.
P.M NEWS reports that Gerald met his ex-lover several years ago at Fasehun Street in Ago Palace Way Okota, Lagos where both resided until he allegedly left her. He had allegedly given Christiana false hope of marrying her, which prompted her to give him the sum of N450, 000 to invest in his business.
Reports reveal that when Gerald’s business eventually started booming, he secretly went and married another woman without his supposed fiancé’s knowledge and later informed her that he had gotten married to another woman.
Christiana, who felt betrayed, asked Gerald to refund the money she gave him to equip his shop in 2011 since he had breached their agreement but he reportedly refused to refund the money and told her that he had offered her services worth more than the said amount over the years.
Christiana was said to have reported to the police at Ago Palace Way and Gerald was arrested and charged to court.
Speaking in court, Gerald who pleaded not guilty, alleged that there was no such agreement between them.
Meanwhile, reports claimed that Gerald, allegedly spoke on why he breached the supposed agreement, had said Christiana was far older than him and too fat, as such, his family did not want her.
The presiding Magistrate, Mrs. Joy Ugbomoiko, granted him bail in the sum of N 100, 000 with one surety in like sum.
Ugbomoiko charged the accused with obtaining under false pretence.
He was remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri pending when he will perfect his bail condition and the matter was adjourned till 12 December for mention.

*This is so wrong,took her love and her money under false pretences?.so wrong!
This kind of crime should be grouped alongside 419 cos its the same thing and is very rampant in Nigeria.
I know for sure that this is a crime anywhere else and attracts jail term.
Dont get me wrong oh...women are also guilty of this!

ReplyDelete@ 49 why won't she go find a widower or divorcee to marry
Btw! What was she doing till 49?
I don't blame the man at all
He saw her desperation for a man and capitalizes on it
Its not the man's fault that She allowed herself to be used!
Is it?
Kasaaa!!!!!
Pray you marry on time, if you are not married already. If you are married, pray that it lasts. It's easier to judge things from the outside.
DeleteGbam
DeleteGoddess, so with all your baggage you have eyes to see another woman's faults.
DeleteOr is this what other women told you too when your relationships failed and you were left with 4 children and no man?
Annon!
DeleteI was married divorced and engaged again
Not just engaged ooh!
I pick the best from the lots
Cos I gave myself air (as in choices)
ASK WHY!
Cos am not desperate
Never been
Never will be
Men see thru u when ur desperate and capitalizes on it
There's always a man out there for every woman
Only if u believe and never give up
Why waste youthful years?
If husband won't come
Have a child
Simple
Don't be so gullible
Life is what u make out of it
U take life hard? Its comes harder on u
Take it easy and is more easy on u
When he was collecting the money and sleeping with her he didn't know that she was old.
ReplyDeleteThis one na one chance
ReplyDeleteHer own better she willingly gave him . My own case I was robbed and kicked out with pregnancy by so called husband /thief !!!! Now the useless bastard has the nerve to say he wants contact with his children!!!! Ok no prob ,but return the money u stole !!! Thief / giggolo,I detest you !!! Scum !!! Failure!!! .
ReplyDeleteHhahahahaha all these names for one person
DeleteSorry o
I don't blame him for running away.
ReplyDeleteHis major reason is that she is far older than him and above all. She is too FAT.
When you tell lazy women to shed excess FAT. They will be claiming BBB.
She should hit the gym first. All hope is not lost.
If I were the woman, I would just move on and leave everything to God. The man has sowed a seed, definitely he must reap seeds. It is now he realises she's too fat and way too old for him, but her money wasn't fat abi? No conscience at all.
ReplyDeleteThis end time generation lacks conscience, it's all about pleasing themselves, not caring who they step on to achieve their aims

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Madame Stella as much as it is a crime but in a country like Nigeria nearly half of men and ladies roaming around the road are guilty of this act, many girls promise to marry their lover but will introduce him to close associates as Maga and even save his phone contact as Mugu so in my opinion don't think such could work in Nigeria. Ladies trick men to buy cars, houses and more in the name of I LOVE YOU and men also do same to desperate ladies
ReplyDeleteEnd time 419
ReplyDeleteOdiegwu!
ReplyDeleteDoes money buy love?
Bwuhahahhahahahahhaha
ReplyDeleteSee his mouth "She is Fat and my family doesn't want her"
ReplyDeleteOnye ori! When u took her money u didn't know ur family didn't want her. Onye ori muo!
As if it's ur fam that is marrying her.
And as u said that money has covered the years u guys were together,just know dat the said money u extorted from her has quadrupled over d years.

DeleteTGW nnem.ole way? Kisses to ur angels.

ReplyDeleteMay Amadioha strike you dead idiot greedy fool
ReplyDeleteLol

ReplyDeleteYes Stells, a charge of obtaining under false pretence is punishable under sec 419 of the criminal code applicable to various states in Nigeria. When people call an offence "419", it's not the name of the act rather it is the punishment section prescribed by the criminal code.
ReplyDeleteHowever, this is another example where sentiments have to take the back seat while live issues take preeminence. As despicable and cruel as the alleged offence of the man is, the offence lacks the elements of obtaining by false pretence. The facts written up there is more of a Civil matter. If she can prove her claim in the civil matter, she can pray the court to order a refund of all she spent on him and even ask for damages for pain and suffering. The monetary value of damages can be millions of Naira. So she gets back all she spent on him plus some extra millions of Naira as damages, hoping she has documents in support of her claim.
In a criminal case, if the prosecution sufficiently proves the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, the accused will either be sentenced to imprisonment and/or pay a fine which goes into government coffers. She can never get her money back through a criminal case. At best she may feel better watching him go to prison, if she is bent on seeing him suffer and doesn't mind not getting her money back.
In common law, there's an offence like breaking a promise to marry or breach of contract to marry which is usually documented and is still not a criminal matter.
According to the statement "he had allegedly given Christiana false hope of marrying her which prompted her to give him the sum of N450,000 to invest in his business". She allegedly gave him the money voluntarily, his business eventually started booming. What broke the camel's already wounded back was the realisation that the man she regarded as her fiance dumped her and married someone else. This made her demand for the money she gave him. It wasn't stated that he asked for the money, rather it seems she gave him money out of the goodness of her heart believing she would be his wife. This doesn't fit obtaining under false pretences. There was no obtaining, there was "gifting" since there's no mention of a loan.
These are the things which make people attack lawyers. Most people don't understand how the law works. To a layman, this case may seem clear cut because it's obvious he did a horrible thing, unfortunately, in the eyes of the law not all offences are criminal. His lawyer may even argue that the cash was a gift and nothing more. There are so many defences that can avail the accused but I wouldn't go into that. Matters like this can be very sensitive and easily misunderstood.
Yes u r right,in dis situation I prefer Karma ,it ll definitely come visiting if d defrauded victim can only be patient,dis happened to my sis too,mind u she aint fat nor ugly@ MM ,d heart of man is simply desperately wicked.d guy in my sis case is now bed ridden ,he had an accident n almost lost his life.

ReplyDeleteNa wa for some guys and he collected her money and refused marrying her. vomit it or she shld take over the business since its her money
Nigerian women will never learn, keep your cash until he puts a ring on your 4th finger. The man surely took advantage of her desperation to defraud her. After now they will say it's love, BTW you can just give out the amount you can forfeit.
ReplyDeleteLadies take note.
