The arrest of Nigerian Smith Nnamadi, 34, at a Bangkok department store, came after a woman, whose name was withheld, complained to police that he had allegedly lured her to send him money under false pretences. The woman claimed that she knew the suspect via Facebook under name of Joe Henry, a British. They became lovers and Nnamadi proposed marriage after chatting via the network for two months.
The suspect claimed he wished to bring in a Bt3million dowry but could not afford the fee of Bt321,560, so he asked her to help. The victim wired him Bt74,560 but Henry said he needed more. That made her suspicious and she turned to the police. A sting operation was set up at a local mall, where the Nigerian suspect came to pick up the money.
The police investigation found that Nnamadi conspired with other foreigners to lure Thai women, wanting foreign husbands, via MSN, Facebook and online websites to dupe them into sending money. Police will hunt for his accomplices.Maga no need pay,its just quite unfortunate for our Nigerian men this days,looks like the english word 'HARDWORK' is no longer in their dictionary because this days if a Nigerian 27yr old man is not marrying 70yr old woman he is duping one via facebook or any social dating network site.Too bad for the men of this generation
