Dr. Chukwudi Onyekwere, who hails from Ebonyi state is allegedly defrauding unsuspected people, by using the health problem of Ms Oluchi Nwali, who was diagnosed of chronic renal failure and needs a undergo surgery to get kidney transplant in India, to dupe both the government and innocent citizens of their hard earned income. The problem started when Oluchi’s family members decided to seek financial help from the public. Dr. Onyekwere allegedly opened an account with United Bank of Africa, which he claimed was on behalf of the Nwali’s family for the sick girl’s treatment. However, Dr. Onyekwere allegedly withholds any money that entered the account with the number, 2068361880 titled, Henry Nwali for his personal use.
 
It was further gathered that the initial N300, 0000 paid by the Ezza North Council Chairman, Mr. Jeff Ogbu was not accounted for, while undisclosed amount of money released by Ebonyi state Governor, Chief Martin Elechi through the office of the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Chief Fidelis Mbam running into millions were not also accounted for by the so called good Samaritan, Dr.  Chukwudi.

 A family source to the victim said Chukwudi since the first publication of the health challenges of Oluchi in some national dailies have refused to show up at the hospital, where Oluchi is currently undergoing dialysis that gulps N75, 000 every week, leaving the family to suspect foul play.

Trouble started for Onyekwere, when he allegedly went back to the state government to demand for N9 million for Oluchi to undergo kidney transplant in India. The state government that have paid huge sum into the account earlier, suspected foul play. The government not only refused to give Dr Chukwudi more money, but also declared him wanted for defrauding innocent citizens.

The Chairman of Ezza North council area of Ebonyi state, Mr. Jeff Ogbu confirmed that he was directed by the state governor to help the sick girl and also said that his initial N300, 000 was given to the masked faced Chukwudi Onyekwere for the help of the girl which did not go up again.

However, Onyekwere said he was only helping the sick girl to regain her health, but could not state clearly how much he has recovered from Ebonyi state government and individuals and groups since his business with the health of Miss Oluchi started.
