Osaze Odemwingie Defrauded By British Woman

Cardiff City FC striker Osaze Peter Odemwingie
has lost over £70,000 to a British woman.
The 38 year-old Claire Duke has appeared in
court to defend herself for her involvement in
the fraud.
She was charged with conning thousands of
pounds from Premiership footballers while
working as their “lifestyle coach.”
The Briton is also accused of defrauding high-
profile clients including Osaze of more than
£70,000 over a one year period.
It is alleged Duke received money for holidays
and flights from clients but kept the money
for herself.
She appeared at Cannock Magistrates’ Court in
Staffordshire last Wednesday charged with five
counts of fraud and one of theft.
Between September 1 last year and July 10 of
this year she is accused of making a total of
£71,106.83 fraudulently. Included in the
charges is that while Duke was the lifestyle
consultant of 32-year-old Odemwingie, she
allegedly stole £15,437.67 by using his debit
card.
Dressed smartly in a grey dress and black
blazer, Duke spoke only to confirm her name
and age in court.
