More facts have emerged on what transpired between a single lady, Ogochukwu Okeke and her lover, Mr Ebuka Okeke who allegedly collected N1.9m from her under the false pretence of marrying her.

Okeke, who’s already married, planned with his wife and introduced her to Ogochukwu as his sister to enable him obtain the money. Whenever Ogochukwu visited Okeke in his house, the wife will pretend that he was her elder brother and will give them privacy to stay as lovers.

Presiding Magistrates, Akeem Fashola granted Okeke bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum. The case was adjourned till October 18, 2017.
