Consequently, Ifeoma was charged before a Lagos court for marriage fraud and remanded in prison.
The incident happened at Mile 12 area of Ikorodu, Lagos where the suspect resides with her family.
According to neighbours, the woman had used the same pattern to defraud many suitors and used to tell the suitors that her daughter refused but will not refund the money she had obtained from them.
It was gathered by PM Express that her plans had worked in the past
until she fell into the trap of a suitor who handed her over to the
police for prosecution.
The suitor, Christian Okere approached Ifeoma and told her of his intention to marry her daughter.
She told him that it would only be possible if he would pay N250,000 in order for her to convince her daughter and the rest of the family members. The suitor agreed and paid her the money.

He then waited for them to ask him to come and perform other marriage obligations to their family.
After Okere had waited for a long period of time, he went to Mrs. Eze to ask to know why she had not fulfilled her own side of the agreement. As usual, she replied that her daughter did not accept.
He requested for the refund of his money as the agreement did not work
out. She claimed that she will not be able to refund his money because
she had already spent it with the intention that her daughter will
accept.
The matter was reported to the Police and the mother was detained at the station for the alleged fraud and was asked to refund the money to the complainant.
