A Nigerian man has been arrested for swindling a New Zealand citizen of thousands of dollars in a romance scam.
The 37-year-old suspect identified as Akintunde Vincent Abiodun was arrested by Edo state police for fraudulently obtaining about $267,000 from a woman he met on a dating website in New Zealand, claiming he loves her and needs the money to travel to come be with her.
The suspect while operating under the alias Christopher Williams also told the woman he wanted to obtain some precious stones worth $18million from his father before traveling.
The man has since been charged with one count of fraud.
