TRAGEDY OF DOUBLE LIFE: MARRIED NIGERIAN WOMAN DIES WHILE SECRETLY WORKING AS A PROSTITUTE IN SCOTLAND

A prostitute found dead in a hotel room in Aberdeen, Scotland, has been revealed to be a married Nigerian woman who made everybody, including her husband, to believe that she made a living by selling hair extensions.

Rather than the picture she painted, the mother of one met a violent death when she left her London home and travelled to Scotland to work as a £220-an-hour call girl.

Scottish newspaper Daily Record quoted Gareth McGraa, who met Jessica while working as an expatriate in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, as saying that he had no idea that his wife was a sex worker as he knew her as a devout Christian.

“TRAGIC Jessica McGraa hid her double life as a £220-an-hour call girl from her oilman husband,” the paper reported on Thursday, February 18. “Gareth McGraa, 56, believed Nigerian-born Jessica, 37, was making money to fund the high life she loved by selling hair extensions,” the report said.

Jessica was said to have used aliases including Ebony Bianca and Kelly West on escort sites. She described herself as “classic, stylish, naughty, horny, sexy” and promised the “ultimate girlfriend experience.”

“It is understood Jessica only returned to Scotland’s oil capital from London a couple of weeks ago, having lived and worked there in the past,” Daily Record reported.

It said that Gareth, from Southport on Merseyside, was working as a chief mechanic with Atlantic Drilling in Nigeria in 2005 when he met Jessica in a Port Harcourt bar.

“They last spoke on Tuesday last week, three days before Jessica was found dead in a flat in Aberdeen’s Union Terrace,” the report said.

The couple, who have a six-year-old son, split when the child was a year old, the report said, quoting Gareth as saying they had several reunions and he always hoped they would end up back together permanently.

That dream died along with the woman Gareth knew as a devout Christian and a doting mother. Gareth said: “I honestly believed that she was making her money from hair extensions. She was a very pious girl – she dragged me to church even and that’s not easy.”

Jessica, according to Daily Record, documented her life of luxury on her social media pages, showing off trips to the Italian Riviera, Hong Kong and New York along with designer clothes, shoes and handbags.

As a suspect, Bala Wadzani Chinda, 25, appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Wednesday, accused of murdering Jessica and was remanded in custody, Gareth told the newspaper of his grief at her death – and his hurt that she had deceived him.

He said: “She liked to be the centre of attention but she wasn’t a girl to put it about – she wasn’t at all like that, never. “When I met her I don’t think she’d had more than a handful of lovers in all her life.

“She wasn’t cheap and liked her Gucci and Armani handbags. She loved the high life and wanted all her dreams to come true tomorrow.

“But she was also a pious person who believed in God. I knew what I was walking into but I really cared for the girl.

“To my mind, and hers, we were going to get back together at some point. “Not just me, the two of us. I wanted it, she wanted it so why not? But I only ever got half the story. I thought I knew her and it hurts.” (News Express)
