A commercial sex worker » who operates in the Ajegunle area of Lagos
State, identified simply as
Becky, reportedly broke down and wept profusely after a man she had
hoped would marry her and take her out of the skin trade, allegedly
disappeared into thin air after stealing her money totalling N580,000,
New Telegraph reports.
According to the prostitute » who reported the case at a police
station in the Festac area of the state, the suspect, Stephen Onyeukwu
, was supposed to go to the bank and deposit the money she had given
him to pay her bride price, pending when they were both ready for the
marriage, but he disappeared with it.
Narrating her ordeal in tears, Becky said:
"I never knew he is a fraudster. He went to bank and did not pay the
money. Each time I called him on phone, he would tell me to forget
about the money, that I was his 'Mugu' (prey). He said I would never
see him in Ajegunle again.
He tricked me and I fell for him."
Becky said that she and Onyeukwu met in a hotel on Ojo Road where he
expressed his love for her. She said they started dating and eight
months into the relationship, Onyeukwu proposed marriage which she
gladly accepted.
"Stephen used to sleep in my hotel room. He would wait for me to
service my last customer for the day. On that fateful Friday, I gave
him N580,000 to pay into my bank account.
He disappeared since then. I knew something was wrong when I didn't
receive an alert. Every time I called him after that, he would yell at
me, telling me to stop disturbing him. God will never forgive him. I
know how many men had sex with me before I saved that amount.
He promised to marry me and even went with me to our church. Our
pastor liked him. He swore that he would marry me or he would die. He
told me that he would never disappoint me. I believed him because of
the way he was behaving."
"We were preparing to get married and I gave him the money so that he
would have money to pay for my dowry. I told one of my police friend
and the police are looking for him.
I have been crying since that day. I cannot sleep. I love him apart
from the money. But now I have lost all. I lost my love and I lost my
money."
Take heart sister!
