Woman Drags Ex-lover To Court For Duping And Refusing To Marry Her

A 42 -year- old man who dumped a 49 -year-old
lover and secretly went and married another woman
has landed in prison custody after he failed to
refund the money the ex -lover allegedly gave him
to set up his business in Lagos State, western
Nigeria .
He was charged before Isolo Magistrate ’s court
with obtaining under false pretence and remanded
in prison custody at Kirikiri.
According to police , Gerald Onuimo allegedly
defrauded his jilted lover , Christiana Ojukwu, by
obtaining N450 , 000 from her under false pretence.
P .M . NEWS gathered that Onuimo met Ojukwu
five years ago and he gave her false hope of
marrying her, which prompted her to give him the
money to invest in his business.
The incident happened at Fasehun Street in Ago
Palace Way Okota , Lagos where they met and
lived.
When Onuimo ’s business eventually picked up ,
he secretly went and married another woman
without Ojukwu’s knowledge and later informed her
that he had got married.
Jolted by his betrayal , Ojukwu asked Onuimo to
refund the money she gave him to equip his shop in
2011 since he had breached their agreement.
Onuimo reportedly refused to refund the money
and told her that he had offered her his services
worth more than the amount over the years.
He also said there was no agreement between them
that he would refund her money .
Ojukwu went to the police at Ago Palace Way and
reported the matter and Onuimo was arrested and
charged to court where he pleaded not guilty .
The presiding Magistrate , Mrs Joy Ugbomoiko ,
granted him bail in the sum of N 100 , 000 with
one surety in like sum.
Onuimo was remanded in prison pending when he
will perfect his bail .
The matter was adjourned till 12 December , 2015.
When our reporter contacted Onuimo on why he
breached their agreement , he said Ojukwu was far
older than him and too fat, as such his family did
not want her.
