 On Thursday, 40-year-old Godwin Ochapa was denied bail by a Karu Upper Area Court judge in Abuja. He appeared before the presiding judge, Umar Kagarko, on a four-count-charge, which he committed in 2010.

 prosecutor, Bulus Samuel, said Ogochukwu reported the case at the State Criminal Investigation Department claiming that Ochapa approached her and indicated his interest to marry, based on the promise, she believed that he was seriously in love with her.

 Ochapa even introduced her as ‘his wife to be’ when they met his elder sister, and the couple had gone as far as setting a date for an introduction ceremony in the east..

“Based on the relationship and trust, the complainant became convinced by Ochapa’s proposal and entrusted the sum of N2.9 million to him to buy her a RAV 4 car.
