Well, it’s the age of fake social media accounts and
Nigerian celebrities are the worst hit when you put
together a roll call of victims.
With the fake Twitter account of late Muna Obiekwe and
atrocities committed by the impostor still lingering in the
minds of Nigerians, another case has just been reported.
Even worse, this time, it didn’t even happen on social
media.
Daily Independent reports that a Lagos politician
and managing director of Lagos-based travel agency,
Aeroland Travels, Segun Adewale popularly known
as Aeroland, has been duped of 500k.
The report says Adewale, a Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) senatorial candidate for Lagos West in the
forthcoming 2015 election, lost half a million Naira to
someone posing as Mavin first lady, Tiwa Savage . Having
declared his intention to run for Senate in 2015 again
and obtaining his party’s nomination form in November
2014, Segun Adewale reportedly contacted the fake ‘Tiwa
Savage’ to perform at his political declaration party.
The politician was however disappointed when the
‘Kelekele Love ‘ singer did not show up at the event.
Presently, Segun Adewale is banking on the financial
institution through which the money was paid to help get
what is left of the amount as a withdrawal has already been
made on the beneficiary account.
