A 55-year-old American woman has accused a 26-year-old Nigerian man and his family of deception and financial exploitation, alleging she was lured into marriage under false pretenses and defrauded of a substantial sum of money.
The woman, who requested anonymity, claimed the man misrepresented his identity and intentions throughout their courtship and marriage, while members of his family allegedly supported or ignored the alleged scheme.
In a series of emotional statements, she strongly criticized the man and his family, declaring:
“His father is a deacon at church and raising a monster like this. How do you go to church and pray to God and then you’re taking money from me, and you marry me under false pretence?”
She further revealed that she lost about $80,000 in the process and vowed to pursue justice, stating:
“Till my last breath, I’m going to make sure this Igbo man, his sister, and his family pay for what they did to me. You don’t take my money, eighty thousand dollars. I made sure you were taken care of, you eat good, live good, and then you’re gonna go ahead and entertain other Igbo women, and then your sister… people should be careful because he is looking for the next victim.”

david_ogbeidi : When did significant age gap become a moral justification for scamming and hurting people? Some of the comments here are based on the twisted logic that when a man or woman chooses a partner much younger than them, then fraud or maltreatment is an acceptable consequence. Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, is 47, while his wife, Brigitte Trogneux, is 72. At the time of their marriage, he was in his twenties and she was in her fifties. Yet no one in France would dare argue that he had the right to scam her and get away with it simply because he was much younger. In that society, their marriage has been treated as a matter of choice, not as a con or route to poverty alleviation. So, why should it be any different here? Why should maturity be treated like a ‘crime’ of some sorts by younger people as if they wouldn’t get old or have guarantees about their life outcomes? Why should this woman’s age be weaponized against her right to love freely?
