Man arrested for blackmailing women with their nude videos

32 year old Iweka Nnamdi who claims to be a graduate of Nnamdi Azikiwe
University has been arrested by the Lagos Police command for allegedly
blackmailing and forcefully extortiing money from unsuspecting female
victims, Vanguard reports.

Nnamdi used multiple Facebook profiles, where he impersonates notable
persons in the society such as the Secretary to the State Government
Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, House of Rep Speaker Aminu Tambuwal, Michael
Adenuga, actor Van Vicker and a host of others, to deceive
unsuspecting victims.

Through the fake profiles, the suspect would announce contract
advertisement as well as job vacancies to his followers and then
invite only the female applicants for a supposed interview at a hotel
location where he would pose as the Personal Assistant to the
Prominent Nigerian who owns the job or contract. Continue...

Nnamdi in the course of the supposed interview would then demand for
sex from these ladies, some of whom may be married. Unknown to those
who would agree to his demands, Nnamdi would have setup a camcoder
where he would record all their sexual activities and nudity. He would
afterwards use the clips from the recorded video to torment his
victims, threatening that he would post the video and nude photos on
the internet if they don't meet his financial demands.Luck however ran
out on him when he posted the nude pictures of an Enugu state born
lady who refused to give him the N20,000 he demanded.

A policeman from Area J in Ajah Lagos, explained;

"The suspect met a female banker (names withheld)on facebook where he
posed as one of the big shots in Nigeria. After chatting with her for
sometime, he invited her to a hotel in Ajah on March 14, 2014, where
he slept with her . Unknown to the lady, a camcoder was placed in a
corner of the hotel room, where all that transpired was recorded. He
later abandoned the lady while she was sleeping. Next day, the lady
called him on the phone, saying she was no longer interested in the
relationship. But Iweka would not agree. Rather, he sent her his GTB
account details asking her to pay in some money which she refused. But
to her chagrin, Iweka posted her nude picture on internet , on April
15, 2014,which prompted her to report the case to the Police. We used
the lady as a bait to get him by asking her to call him on the phone
and book for an appointment with him in a hotel at Ikota in order to
settle the case. And when he came we apprehended him. During
investigation, we discovered he is not in any way related to any of
these persons he claimed to represent. When we conducted a search in
an apartment at Road 34, Ikota villa estate in Ajah, where he squats
with his elder sister's husband, we found the laptop he uses for these
atrocities. Stored in, were video of several women in their nude,
including that of the banker. We also found black berry phones with
same pictures stored in. During interrogation, he said he only used
such means to get beautiful ladies and also make some money. His
victims included bankers, students in the different universities and
married women. For the married women, he tells them to bid for
contracts. From our acount, he has destroyed about fourteen marriages,
by posting pictures of the women who turned down his blackmail, on the
internet"Iweaka has been charged to court on an eight- count charge
ranging from impersonation, publication of provocative pictures,
threat to life, conduct likely to cause the breach of peace, obtaining
under false pretense and threat with intent to extort. The first
hearing for his case was heard on April 28th where he pleaded not
guilty. He was granted bail of N200,000 with two sureties.The case
comes up for hearing again May 26th.
