The Liberian police has arrested Nicholas Davis, ex- lover of Nigerian actress Empress Njamah, for extortion and blackmailing several women in the country.
According to reports, following complaints from over 20 Liberian women who claimed to have been duped and robbed of their valuables by Davies.
It was alleged that he was in the midst of planning another scam against a victim when he was apprehended.
During a press conference by the police in Liberia, the police chief disclosed that Davies is a well-known scammer who specifically preys on wealthy women, lures them into romantic relationships, and manipulates them to swindle their fortunes.
He said,
“There have been several complaints against the 39-year-old, who has victimized over twenty females, and absconded with their personal belongings and expensive materials.
“With the recent report brought against him, we began a robot search, and he was arrested at Miami Beach while attempting to victimize other females. There is prior information of the suspect carrying the same act in Nigeria on an actress.
“He spent approximately 70 months in the country before committing the crime against the female actress. We can assure the public that all the victims will get justice and anyone with other information should visit the Liberian Police Station to register their complaints to ensure the suspect does not go with impunity.“
The police have urged other potential victims of Davies to come forward and report their complaints, indicating that there may be additional individuals who have been targeted by his fraudulent activities.
Empress Njamah had accused Davis who went by the name George Wade in Nigeria, of taking over her social media account, physically abusing her and creating intimate videos to blackmail her, alleging that he had entered her life pretending to be a romantic partner during a vulnerable time when she was mourning the death of her best friend, Ada Ameh.
