Husband of Nigerian sex worker found dead had no idea she was a call girl, 'I thought she was making money from hair extensions'

Estranged husband of Nigerian-born Jessica McGraa revealed that she hid her double life as a £220-an-hour call girl from him.

 

Gareth McGraa, 56, believed that Jessica, 37, was making money to fund the high life she loved by selling hair extensions. Gareth told of his grief at her death – and his hurt that she had deceived him. 

 

The couple, who have a six-year-old son split when the child was a year old. After that, Gareth says, 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, from Southport on Merseyside, 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 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.

Yesterday, Bala Wadzani Chinda, 25, appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court accused of murder and was remanded in custody.

 

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.

 

Gareth was working as a chief mechanic with Atlantic Drilling in Nigeria in 2005 when he met Jessica in a Port Harcourt bar.
