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.

Osaze Odemwingie Defrauded By British Woman
Tonto Dikeh On Her Sugar Daddy; I Rub His Belly And Pounds Fall Out »
The pain of losing one parent at an early age
can have a very telling effect.
Those who have grown up in the sole custody
of their mother’s or father’s know how much
such a void fills like. They also know how the
surviving parent becomes everything to them
and the connection they share. A father plays
the role of both a dad and mum so the kids
grow up regarding him as such.
For years, Tonto Dikeh was known to have lost
her mother when she was a toddler and her
father sole-handedly took care of her. She
only decided to release his picture a few
months ago, and now feels comfortable to
share more about the details of what they
have together:
“He is my sugar daddy. I rub his belly and the
pounds fall out. My old soldier, my love.”
You can feel the endearing connection she has
with him and she got him one of her gold
plated Iphones as well too. It’s very
encouraging that some of our stars have held
their parents in high esteem after they
became successful and try their best to make
them happy.
“You choose not to write about my success, now you are dying slowly” – Tonto Dikeh to Linda Ikeji
Yesterday, celebrity blogger Linda Ikeji posted
a story on her blog about Tonto Dikeh sending
a shout out to her haters.
Apparently, the news didn’t go well with Tonto.
This morning, Tonto took to twitter to carry
out her outburst and displeasure- there she
revealed that it was a fake account gave the
alleged “shout out to haters”.
