Eric Akhigbe, a Big Brother Naija reality show star, has been accused of defrauding people by promising them a slot.
According to Baby C, a Nigerian singer who fell for the alleged sham, the reality star duped her out of millions after promising to facilitate her entry into the BBNaija house.
She claimed she paid him N5.3 million to gain access to the BBNaija house. She went on to explain how the reality star allegedly duped her with the help of another person.
“When an ex-BBNaija housemate scams me of my N5.3m and used it to relocate to the UK. People way i call my brother. Omo people wicked.” Baby C said during a chat with newsmen.
“Eric was my friend. We were in the same department in the University of Lagos and we were close to an extent when he got final confirmation that he was going to be in the house. I was one of the first persons he called and he asked me to support him. I formed a group and raised funds for his campaign.”
Baby C stated that the case is currently under investigation, with one person in the custody of SCID Panti, and that Eric’s parents have been summoned to stand in for him in order to repay the money.
“If that fails, the UK embassy will be notified, and appropriate action will be taken against him,” she said.
