How woman stole N22 million from Peter Odemwingie, others in the UK (PICTURED)

A British woman posing as a Lifestyle Coach has escaped jail after swindling Nigerian Super Eagle striker, others of over £80,000.
Scheming Claire Duke admitted to defrauding the complainants by pocketing monies meant for her clients’ luxury holidays.
Other victim’s of Duke’s scam were Liverpool’s Andre Wisdom and former West Bromwich Albion and Celtic manager Tony Mowbray.
Duke, from St Albans, Hertfordshire, swindled the money by setting up a business called Solutions Lifestyle where she advertised flights and hotels at discount prices for her wealthy clients.

The lifestyle consultant would take money for holidays and flights from her customers – but would pocket the cash for herself.
She wept in the dock at Stafford Crown Court, Staffordshire, today as she confessed to seven counts of fraud.
In total she made £82,561.79 fraudulently from six of her clients between April 1, 2012 and July 10 last year.
The court heard Mowbray – who was managing Middlesborough at the time – paid Duke over £30,000 for a hotel in Dubai.
But when he arrived with his family, he found not only had a different hotel been booked but it had not even been paid for.
She also stole £15,437.67 from Nigerian striker Odemwingie, 32, after obtaining his bank details from his debit card.
She also pocketed £6,000 from defender Wisdom, 21, currently on loan to Derby County, after he paid for a trip to Jamaica.
Hugh O’Brien-Quinn, prosecuting said: ‘She was a lifestyle coach and one of her clients was Peter Odemwingie, then a footballer at West Bromwich Albion.
‘He had paid the defendant £7,000 so she could book him flights to Miami. He paid with his debit card.

He married his fiancée in May 2012 and his future parents in law paid £7,560 to book a honeymoon.
‘The defendant pocketed that money but needed to cover her tracks and book a honeymoon.

‘So in April 2012 she used Mr Odemwingie’s debit card details and paid £7,471.12 from that account to another company who arranged the honeymoon.

‘She received £1,000 commission and even handed over the tickets at the wedding reception.
‘She then used Mr Odemwingie’s card again for return flights from Eindhoven to London for a football agent priced at £325.33.’
The court also heard how Duke stole £6,600 from Liverpool player Andre Wisdom who gave her the money to book him a flight to Jamaica.
However, she took the money for herself and then tried to cover her tracks by using Mr Odemwingie’s account to pay £15,160.44 for flights and hotels for Mr Wisdom’s holiday to Jamaica.

Gangsters rape,kill 18 year old sex-worker in Lagos(Photo)

 Police have apprehended two gangsters for allegedly raping and killing an 18-year-old commercial sex worker, Oluwatosin Ami.The suspects, John-Paul Chukwuebuka, 19; and Ebuka Chimudi, 22; belonged to a gang which specialised in luring young ladies to hotels with the aim of dispossessing them of their belongings and raping them.

According to police authorities, on April 10, 2013, two members of the gang posed as customers and visited the Happy Day Hotel, Orile.Oluwatosin was approached by the suspects and she took them into her room at the hotel which she secured at the cost of N3, 500 per day.The suspects were said to have overpowered Oluwatosin and stuffed a cloth in her mouth to prevent her from screaming.



She was also bound by the hands, while the suspects took turns in raping her.Afterwards, the suspects were said to have stolen her phone and money before locking her inside the room.The suspects were also said to have taken the key of the room and tossed it into a canal.

A relative of the deceased said the following morning, when the hotel attendants wanted to clean the hotel rooms, they knocked on the door of the room where Oluwatosin was, but there was no response.

It was learnt that the  attendants then used a spare key to open the door and the corpse of Oluwatosin was found.Her father, Babatunde, told PUNCH Metro that the matter was reported at the Orile Police Station and his daughter’s corpse was taken to the Mainland Hospital, Yaba.

Babatunde said he had no idea that his daughter was a commercial sex worker.He said the family had been looking for her since December last year and had reported her missing at the Adeniji Adele Police Division on the Lagos Island.

He said,

 “My daughter was in JSS3 in 2012 when she dropped out of school. She said she wanted to be a sales girl and we got a job for her, but she did not stay there. Suddenly, in December last year, she left the house and did not return home.Her mother and I called her on the telephone several times, but she would say she was fine and putting up in a friend’s place. She used to visit her grandmother, but in January, she stopped picking calls.All attempts to get her proved abortive. We did not hear anything from her until we received a telephone call a few days ago, saying her corpse had been found in a hotel.”

The mother of the deceased, Muibat, lamented that Oluwatosin was her third child that would die within five years.She said the deceased was her first born and she had only two children remaining.She said she did her best as a parent and wondered why her daughter chose such a lifestyle
