Even though I don't know the context of this sentence I think it means that according to what one has heard or read about him, he lives in the mentioned city/town. By saying wherever that is , I think the writer wants to express that the person speaking doesn't know where the city/town is located or that it is a quite unknown remote place to live in.

Someone told me (or I read, I heard, etc.) that he lives in Little Overington. However, I do not know where Little Overington is located.
"Little Overington" is the name of a town or village, probably fictional.
