However, Adeniyi told the police to detain the suspect. When he got to the police station, after arriving in Nigeria, Adeniyi narrated how they met on Facebook and his ordeal in the hands of Akintunde:

“I sent the sum of N100k to her because I was desperately in need of a wife from Yoruba land, in February 2017, she told me that her mother was a big time oil dealer in Nigeria managing 3 filing stations. She later told me that her mother was about to sell off one of them for N4m and she advised me to purchase it. She sent three pictures of the three filing station to me to convince me. I accepted her advice thinking that she was an honest woman who would be a good house wife. I confirmed the alleged sales from her mother on phone.”

Adeniyi claimed that he transferred the sum of N1.85 million into the suspect’s account, and also sold his Peugeot car in Nigeria for N1 million and remitted the money into her account. 

“I also shipped a Renault bus with properties inside valued at about N2.5m to her to sell and pay for the filing station, instead she converted all my money to her personal use and plunged me into debt.”

In response to that, Akintude argued that she received only N1.5 million from the complainant and not N5 million.

She said she sold the bus for N1 million and used the proceeds to buy an uncompleted building at Sango Ota, Ogun State.
According to the Police the matter is still under investigation, and the suspect will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
