00:00A Nigerian national and his lover are in a fight, and if he doesn't give the money, he will spread their pictures and videos.
00:17But not only that, he is also involved in a scam.
00:21Oh, he is a sex tortionist and a scammer.
00:25November 2023, Alias Andrea, 40 years old, met Nicolas Obidigwe, a Nigerian national who lives in the Philippines.
00:35How did you fall in love with this accuser?
00:39When I was e-biking, I saw that someone was flying.
00:44Until my acquaintances introduced him to me.
00:48At first, we were in a relationship until it became official.
00:55Their relationship became so-called smooth sailing, but it didn't last long.
01:00They went through a rampage.
01:04Did you ever think that he would do this to you?
01:07No, because at first, we were okay together.
01:10But as time went by, the real color came out.
01:14When it came to the point of Nicolas, there were already many women talking about him.
01:21I don't get mad when I see that he has someone else.
01:27Until they got together, but Nicolas doesn't want to be a daddy.
01:33What was the reaction of this person?
01:35He got mad at me.
01:36Why?
01:37Because we were talking about having no child.
01:41He blamed me for being pregnant.
01:43He said, you put that on yourself.
01:45Because of the extreme stress that Andrea was taking with her.
01:50How painful is this?
01:51It's very painful because he doesn't care about the child.
01:56It's like the child is just dirty.
01:58That's when the depression triggered.
02:02Yes, ma'am.
02:03It's very painful.
02:04It's very painful because he doesn't care about the child.
02:11Andrea held on to her ex-boyfriend, a Nigerian national,
02:15after finding out about her pregnancy.
02:18Andrea decided to separate from her foreigner boyfriend.
02:23But instead of giving Nicolas his freedom,
02:26Nicolas started hitting Andrea.
02:29In exchange, he didn't share their pictures and videos.
02:34Oh no, Andrea got mad.
02:37What pushed you to report this to the authorities?
02:41He said he has videos.
02:44Did you know that he has your private videos?
02:48That's what I don't know.
02:50That's what I believe.
02:52He's just blackmailing me emotionally.
02:56Andrea didn't waste any more time and was immediately brought to the National Bureau of Investigation,
03:01Cybercrime Division, for her complaint.
03:04Chief, first of all, how did you know about this case?
03:08In the story of our complaint,
03:10she was threatened by her ex-boyfriend, a Nigerian,
03:14who was exposing their intimate activity.
03:19As insisted by the Nigerian,
03:22we gave our complainant a certain amount.
03:25On August 30, 2024, an entrapment operation was conducted
03:28to frame Andrea's ex-boyfriend.
03:31When we found out that they were scheduled for a meet-up,
03:34that was the date we scheduled our entrapment operation.
03:39Along with the receipt,
03:41the National Bureau of Investigation, Cybercrime Division,
03:45headed to Imus, Cavite.
03:47In this subdivision,
03:48they encountered two Nigerian nationals.
04:10Nicholas and some of his companions
04:13were also involved in the scam of many Filipinos.
04:16We went to a faith healer.
04:19That's where we found out that the scam was fake.
04:23When the NBI investigated,
04:25Nicholas was also involved in the so-called 419 scam
04:30started by a group of Yahoo Boys.
04:37Happily Ever After was the one to expose
04:41a Nigerian national who lives here in the Philippines
04:44became a tragic reality forever.
04:48In addition to the extortion,
04:50the extortion of money
04:52in exchange for not exposing their sexual images and videos,
04:57his victim was his ex-girlfriend.
05:00When the NBI investigated,
05:02Nicholas was also involved in the so-called 419 scam.
05:08If you remember,
05:09this is a common mode in the Philippines.
05:11For example, a Navy officer
05:13was assumed to be our perpetrator.
05:16And our perpetrator said,
05:19I have a big bag full of money
05:22which is stacked in costumes
05:24because there are many processes that need to be paid.
05:27Since I don't have it now,
05:29maybe you, honey,
05:30you can pay for it temporarily.
05:33Is there solid evidence to link these two Nigerians to that scam?
05:36The element of creating a fake account is there.
05:40The element of how to build an emotional attachment with the victim is there.
05:46The element of how to fabricate stories
05:49in order to solicit more money from the victims is also there.
05:53This Love Scam, Romance Scam, 419 Scam,
05:57this is what we will process through regular filing.
06:00Stand up, stand up.
06:01This is the marked money.
06:03And you have received this
06:04because you were asking money from your victim
06:08who was complained in our office.
06:09Which victim?
06:10The victim is your former girlfriend.
06:13I never ask her anymore.
06:16I will not ask her anymore.
06:18It is possible that the last suspects
06:20are the ones who are complaining about the extortion of Andrea.
06:22I wonder why she is framing all these things.
06:24She is saying that you are threatening her.
06:26I am not threatening her.
06:27Nicholas denies the relationship they had with Andrea.
06:31Nothing happened between you two?
06:32Not a relationship whatsoever?
06:34No relationship.
06:35But when asked about Andrea's extortion...
06:39Are you aware that she had a miscarriage with her child?
06:42Not miscarriage.
06:43She removed the child according to her.
06:47After Andrea's relationship with Nicholas was revealed,
06:50she denied the truth.
06:53So you are aware that they had a relationship before?
06:56Yeah.
06:57Are you saying that the woman before that came here
07:00that have a relationship...
07:02Yeah, she is his girlfriend before.
07:04Oh no!
07:05Your best friend fell in love with you.
07:09Brought to the National Bureau of Investigation,
07:12Cybercrime Division or NBI-CCD,
07:14the two Nigerian nationals.
07:17They were again interviewed by Racimo inside the office.
07:20I am a student. I came to study.
07:22Master's. I want to do my Master's.
07:24I have business. I need to release kids.
07:27What kind of business is that, Sirs?
07:30The two are denying their involvement in the alleged scam.
07:34Were you informed that you are even part of the scam?
07:37Is that true?
07:38No.
07:39You were never part of the scam?
07:40No.
07:42But according to Andrea...
07:43They are not students.
07:46They are not business owners.
07:49Where are the class cards if she is a student?
07:54They are facing robbery, extortion, grave coercion,
07:57violation of RA-9262
07:59or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children
08:03in relation to RA-10175
08:06or the Anti-Cybercrime Law.
08:08If proven guilty,
08:10the accused may face up to 10 to 40 years in prison.
08:15The investigation is still ongoing
08:17on the two alleged cases.
08:20Are you going to kick them out of the country?
08:23We have a protocol.
08:24If a foreigner is involved,
08:26we will turn him over to the Immigration
08:28after the case is processed.
08:30As for the Immigration,
08:32since he has a case,
08:34definitely, that's an obvious form of being an undesirable alien.
08:39He will be thrown out of the country,
08:41wherever he comes from.
08:42After her ex-boyfriend is arrested,
08:45Andrea's mind will be put in peace
08:48hoping that this will serve as a lesson to her fellow Filipinos
08:51to be careful in entering a relationship,
08:54especially now.
08:58Thank you so much for watching.
