A Nigerian internet fraudster and alumnus of Covenant University, Emmanuel Jack, who defrauded women out of nearly £200,000 through romance scams, has been allowed to remain in the United Kingdom after a court ruled that deporting him to Nigeria would be excessively harsh on his British wife and children due to their complex medical needs, according to a Friday report by the Daily Mail.
Jack, 35, was sentenced to three years in prison in 2014 for posing as an architect on dating websites, using aliases like John Creed, John Windsor, and Johnnie Carlo Rissi to trick six vulnerable women in the UK and the US into sending him £186,000. He collaborated with an accomplice in this fraudulent scheme, commonly known as “Yahoo Yahoo” in Nigeria.
