  The anuofia did not wait for the gods to crown him properly cos Chimereze means king ordained by the gods. Fraudsters are wicked and deserve no mercy. No sentiments here. Aturu Okija! Please recover the money and jail the bastard. But on the flip side, the Thai woman is corrupt and criminal minded.
