Another Wizkid impersonator arrested in Imo State

Weeks after an impostor who claimed to be the talented singer, Ayo Balogun popularly known as Wizkid defrauded students of the University of Lagos (Unilag) of the sum of N500,000,00 as full payment for a show tagged “ Concert for Life”, the ugly incident has repeated itself.

This time around, the victims are not Unilag students, but an Owerri,Imo State-based businessman, Chief Chukwudi Ofoha who is the CEO of Ibari Ogwa, a popular hangout located in the World Bank area of Owerri.



Showtime gathered that the impostor who claimed to be Wizkid was contracted by one Mr. Ugochukwu Favour Mayor on behalf of Chief Ofoha for a show at the hangout.  The impostor  is said to have charged the latter the sum of N1million. And in sealing the deal, an advance payment of N300,000 was allegedly paid into the impostor’s  UBA account.

Shortly after the payment was made, the impostor switched off his cell phone, thereby raising the suspicion that he was not the real Wizkid. Based on this development, the CEO of Ibari Ogwa is said to have arrested and detained Mr Mayor at the State CID in Owerri. The Police are already investigating the matter.
