The arrest was confirmed via the official X handle of Nigerian Stories, sending social media into a frenzy. According to reports, Ogochukwu, who was in a romantic relationship with the victim, allegedly took advantage of his trust, making away with his phones and gaining access to his Bitcoin wallet.

The incident has sparked widespread reactions, with many questioning the risks of trust in modern relationships, especially in an era where digital assets can be drained in seconds. While some social media users sympathized with the victim, others speculated on the nature of their relationship and whether he had ignored red flags.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement detailing Ogochukwu’s motives or whether she acted alone. However, legal experts suggest that if convicted, she could face serious charges, including theft and cybercrime-related offenses.
