A 32-year-old man, Iweka Chigoziem Nnamdi has been arrested by the police in Lagos for sleeping with women after promising them jobs.

The suspect is said to be in the habit of posing as prominent individuals like Billionaire, Mike Adenuga, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim and many others.

Nnamdi was however arrested last week after posting an explicit video of himself having sex with a banker simply identified as Judith.

Nnamdi was said to have threatened to make the video public if the victim, who works with a new generation bank in Lagos, refuses to give him money.

Read the Vanguard report of the alleged crime of Nnamdi, a 32-year-old graduate of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State.

When people applied, he would select only the females, married and single, and invite them to a hotel where the purported interview was scheduled. However  he would  identify himself as the agent or personal assistant to the prominent Nigerian that has the job and  demand for sex , with a promise to facilitate the application.

But unknown to the victims, a hidden camera  is activated once the ceiling   fan is switched on, records all the fondling and sexual activities, at the end of which the   suspect  would  blackmail  them, with a threat to post  their nude pictures and videos on the internet if his demand for money  was not met.

He  allegedly succeeded in blackmailing about 12 married women. The last straw  was said to be an encounter with a 27-year-old   female banker identified simply as Judith.

A close friend of the banker, who spoke  on  the condition of anonymity,  narrated the story: “ Judith is presently a  shadow of her former self  because of Nnamdi’s mischief. This is because she got information about  her sex video on the internet from close friends.

She met the suspect who posed as Mike Adenuga  on the internet and was convinced  because of Adenuga’s   photograph. They got chatting; at  a point, she accepted an invitation to meet him in an  hotel two months ago. But when she got there, she met Nnamdi who identified himself as Adenuga’s P.A and told Judith that she would have to go through him to see his boss.

One thing led to the other and she found herself in bed with him. But she got the shock of her life when Nnamdi called her on  phone to pay some money into his account, threatening to post her sex video on the internet if she didn’t cooperate.

Judith called his bluff but was shocked when Nnamdi made  good his threat by first posting photographs on the internet. Judith was yet to recover from the shock when Nnamdi  went ahead to download the video of them making love on her  Facebook timeline. About 325 of Judith’s Facebook friends watched the video.

“The video cost her, her five years relationship. After that, Nnamdi kept calling and threatening to post the second  sex video on the internet if Judith did not pay him. It was at this point that she reported the case to policemen at Ajah who asked her to play along, in the process of which he was arrested”.

Laptops containing videos and pictures of different women were said to have been recovered by policemen during a search of the suspect’s apartment in Ikota Villa  Estate, Ajah.

Police sources said about 12  victims contacted on phone revealed that they were married women, with some of them lamenting that the scandal destroyed their marriages.

One of them (names withheld), who spoke with operatives on the phone when asked to come and testify, was quoted to have said: “I do not care if he has been arrested, killed or alive because the harm has already been done. Can you imagine that scoundrel sent a video of  me and him on bed to my husband? Today, I have been sent out of my matrimonial home. Of what use is my coming to testify? Will that restore my marriage?”

Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, who confirmed the suspect’s arrest, narrated: “The case was reported to the police on April, 20, 2014. The complainant alleged that the suspect chatted with her on  the facebook for months until he invited her to hotel in Ajah, under the pretence that he was Mike Adenuga, the Chairman of Globacom.

When Nnamdi finally met with the victim on March, 14, 2014, he chatted with her and finally convinced the complainant to have sex with him. Unknown to her, the suspect had bugged the hotel room with camera. So while they were having sex, the entire action was being filmed.

“After this affair, the suspect started sending threatening text messages to her, demanding she pay various sums of money to him, otherwise he would send the nude pictures to her friends and colleagues at her office. He also sent a GTB bank account number into which she was to pay.

“After his arrest on April 21, 2014, in a hotel at Ajah and following interrogation, police recovered the suspect’s laptop in which he had quite a number of sex pictures and videos of the complainant and also a host of other victims. He made a  confessional statement to the effect that he did all that police recovered in his laptop, his BlackBerry and Techno phone.

On his laptop, police discovered that he had a list of prominent Nigerians such as Mike Adenuga;  Pius Ayim Pius; Nwabara  Adolphus; Van Vicker, a Ghanaian actor; and  Joy Nnwedu, among others. He had been using these images and names to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians. In fact, he has broken marriages as confirmed  by our investigations.”

The suspect, according to her, has been charged to court on an eight-count charge, informing that the case comes up tomorrow ( May  26) at  Court 6,  Tinubu, Lagos State.

According to the police spokesperson, the suspect was as  “cool as a cucumber” after he was arrested, smiling like he had not committed any crime.
