Nigerian arrested for swindling, blackmail
MANILA, Philippines — A Nigerian man and his alleged accomplice were arrested by the National Bueau of Investigation (NBI) for reportedly swindling and blackmailing a woman in Las Piñas over the weekend.
NBI agents caught Irene Lee Okoro withdrawing P10,000 at a remittance center, allegedly in exchange for Innocent Uchenna not posting her nude photos online. She led the lawmen to Uchenna’s hideout.
The arrest stemmed from a complaint by a woman who alleged that Uchenna, whom she met on Tinder, demanded she wire him P25,000 in exchange for not posting her nude photos online after she refused his demands for more money.
The suspects were charged with swindling and robbery extortion.
