The Nigerian comedian Bovi Ugboma popularly known as Bovi, shared a story of how he has been scammed by two women in the last two years. Bovi who claimed to have never fallen victim to scams prior to his encounter with the two different women, revealed this in a post on his Instagram page, which he has since deleted. The first woman identified as Okujagu Dakoru, had given the comedian a dud cheque back in February 2014, and Bovi claims he hasn’t seen her since then.
The other lady reportedly works in the Entertainment industry, and was said to have asked for 5,000 Naira from different people, which she never returned. Sharing the picture of the dud cheque, Bovi wrote:
“In memory of the only lady and indeed human being to successfully scam me! Till today, as small as this Victoria island and Lekki is, I’ve never run into her again! Neither can I reach her on phone! Please if you know her, tell her I have forgiven the debt! She should stop hiding when she sees me. It’s more than 2 years now! Tell her that I went to efcc and they laughed at me so hard! They started asking if she was my lover! Basically they had better amounts to pursue! So do I now. In other news there’s another half- caste girl that think she’s smart. She called me to pls send her 5k. Yes 5 thousand Naira! She told me one disjointed long story. My dear, we are in the same industry! So I know I will find you. I know you borrowed 5k from like 20 of us that day! You promised to pay back same day but you have since evaporated into thin air! My sister if you know how shameless I am in dragging small money, you will pay me quick! I need my 5k! This is buhari era! Every kobo counts!”
