Chike, the Nigerian artiste, has taken to social media to accuse a lady, Chioma Ochibili, of defrauding him of a large sum of money.
In a series of posts on his X account on Monday morning, the ‘Boo of the Booless’ hitmaker detailed how he invested $20,000 in a business venture proposed by Ochibili, only to later realise the deal was likely a scam.
According to Chike, the business opportunity presented to him turned out to be non-existent.
He expressed frustration at discovering the truth too late, implying that he may not have been her first victim.
“Chioma Nneoma Ochibili, so you are a thief?” Chike wrote.
“That’s how they operate. They will tell you they are running a certain business, but her real business is surviving on your money.
“$50,000 in the air. $20,000 of my hard-earned money, which I never saw again.
How did I find out this late that I’m just another person she has duped? Even I laugh at myself.”
The singer also emphasised that the issue goes beyond a failed business deal, pointing instead to alleged fraud.
“Do not get distracted. The focus is not about the amount of money. I understand how one can easily get distracted by that, but $20,000 is not all the money in the world, thankfully,” he added.
“Whatever business Chioma sells to you is not the issue. The real problem is that the business does not even exist, which amounts to fraud. Also, you will not be the first.
“These tweets are not about fund recovery. I am already taking steps to ensure that, regardless of Chioma’s tactics.
“These tweets are for those who are capable of giving her such amounts. I hope you see this.
“If you know Chioma as I have come to know her, albeit late, you will understand that doing any sort of business with her is at your own risk.”
As of the time of this report, Ochibili has not responded to the allegations.
