The suspect said: “I came to Lagos few months ago and things were very rough for me. As I could no longer bear hunger I thought of how to survive and the thought of getting some ladies that I would have sex with and blackmail them thereafter came up.
“I thought of the most vulnerable and I discovered that the best target should be the matured, lonely and single ladies. I opened a Facebook account with the name Dr Chibuzor, MD/ CEO Health Wellbeing Therapy.

“My efforts paid off as single and matured ladies started accepting my friend’s requests. I started chatting with them, from chatting; the relationship would develop to love and affection.
“When I gain their confidence, I would request to meet with them in any of the three choice hotels that I used.
“They will honour my invitation, for them to feel that I was a big guy, I would tell them to give me their location where my boy would come and pick them.

“I would go and pick them, pretending to be an errand boy to the big man who invited them. When we arrive in the rooms, I would ask them to relax, as my master would soon arrive. .
“After some hours, I would come back to the room and inform them that my master would no longer be around as an important assignment took him outside Lagos. .
“It is at that moment that I would start working on their brains; telling them how I would assist if they would agree to have sex with me. .
“They usually agree and after sex, I would demand for money and they willingly give me. I wasn’t using diabolical means. I think they succumbed out of fear or that they needed sex. .
“Many ladies out there are sex starved. I did not rape them. I have questions for my victims: did any of them raise alarm when I was raping them and why did they not report to the hotel management?”
