Precious Chineme Nwoko: Drug dealer who wrecked two Australian women in the name of love.
Nigerian Precious Chineme Nwoko, was a member of an international drug syndicate who is spending 27 years in jail in Cambodia. He was sentenced in 2014 and an attempt by him in 2016 to get a reprieve failed. Two Australian women he recruited online as mules via a romance scam are cursing the day they fell in love with him after they were arrested, tried and jailed for carrying drugs. They have related their stories in a documentary by ABC Australia.
Yoshe Taylor: spent six years in Cambodia jail and was freed in May
An Australian mother has issued a desperate warning to other women after travelling to Cambodia on the promise of love, before unwittingly being used as a drug mule.

Yoshe Taylor, a 47-year-old single mother and school teacher, met South African businessman ‘Precious’ through the dating app Tagged.
He was caring and sweet, with a buff gym body and a broad smile.
Battling depression and struggling to keep up with mortgage repayments, when her internet boyfriend offered Ms Taylor the opportunity to fly to Cambodia to meet him she saw it as the perfect escape.
Instead, she ended up spending six years in one of Cambodia’s worst prisons, having falling victim to her fraudster boyfriend – a member of a huge international drug syndicate.
‘I had been all by myself for a long time, four years, just me and the kids,’ she told the ABC’s Australian Story.
‘I was talking to him for a long time; I thought I got to know him and he seemed very nice.’
Ms Taylor would often stay up late at night exchanging messages with Precious.
He would tell her that when it came to love it was ‘her or nothing’, while also saying he worried about whether she was sleeping or eating well.
‘You have a busy day in the morning,’ Ms Taylor’s lover told her.
But Precious was not a 43-year-old businessman from South Africa like he claimed.
In reality, he was a 24-year-old Nigerian whose name was Precious Chineme Nwoko.
By the time Ms Taylor worked this out it was Christmas 2013 and the 41-year-old was locked up inside the notorious Prey Sar Prison.
Each cell inside the women’s prison had 99 inmates and not enough beds, meaning many had to sleep side-by-side on the floor.
She was found guilty of drug smuggling and was sentenced to 23 years in prison.
But Ms Taylor wasn’t the only Australian woman being targeted by Precious, who also had a Melbourne woman in his sights.
Kay Smith had also met the African scam artist over a dating app and immediately showed off his softer side, telling her about the orphanage where he volunteered.
‘The kids here are asking when I will bring my wife too. Almost cried,’ he told her.
Eventually, having gained Ms Smith’s trust, he also asked him to travel to Cambodia to visit him.
Precious paid for her flights, passport and accommodation, but said the trip had to be limited to only four days as he had business to attend to overseas.
‘I was petrified the whole journey,’ Ms Smith said of her trip but that anxiety subsided when he turned up at the airport to collect her as promised.
That night they went out for dinner and asked her to marry him. She said yes.
On the final night of her whirlwind trip, Precious asked Ms Smith to take two laptop bags back to Australia with her.
Having gone through the bags and checked the contents, the first moment Ms Smith discovered what was in them was at customs at Melbourne Airport.

Shocking CCTV footage from August 29, 2013, shows Ms Smith falling to the floor as customs officers told her two kilograms of heroin was hidden in the lining of the bag.

‘In the space of four days, this guy destroyed my entire life, my existence,’ she said.
Ms Smith spent six months in a maximum-security women’s prison in Melbourne and then 18 months on bail before police dropped the charges against her.

Thanks for your post made here. One thing I would really like to say is that most professional fields consider the Bachelor Degree just as the entry level requirement for an online course. When Associate Certification are a great way to begin with, completing your own Bachelors opens up many good opportunities to various careers, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Diploma Programs available via institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions present Online variations of their qualifications but generally for a extensively higher fee than the institutions that specialize in online course programs.
Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success. If you know of any please share. Thanks!
Whats up are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you need any coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have discovered that fees for internet degree pros tend to be a great value. For instance a full Bachelors Degree in Communication in the University of Phoenix Online consists of Sixty credits from $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online makes available Bachelors of Business Administration with a complete study course element of 180 units and a cost of $30,560. Online studying has made obtaining your education much simpler because you can earn the degree through the comfort of your dwelling place and when you finish from work. Thanks for other tips I’ve learned through your blog.
