A Nigerian man has allegedly faked the death of his mother and used a fake obituary post to scam his schoolmates out of millions of naira. The story has gained widespread attention on social media platforms, with the details of the incident shared extensively on X (formerly Twitter), where a post exposed the face of the accused man who allegedly used the fabricated tragedy to deceive his peers into donating large sums of money.
According to the post, the individual, identified as Adesanya Oluwatumilara, took to social media with a fake obituary of his mother, claiming that she had passed away. His goal was to defraud his schoolmates, many of whom, upon hearing the news, generously contributed money to help cover funeral expenses. However, the scam was later exposed when it was revealed that the obituary was fabricated. It was also alleged that Oluwatumilara had been using fake scholarship letters to deceive others for personal gain.
The social media post accompanying the story criticized Oluwatumilara, calling him a "bastard and bloody thief" for faking his mother’s death and manipulating others to defraud them of millions of naira. The post further denounced his use of fake documents to deceive people. The public outrage grew as more details emerged about his actions. In a shocking twist, a video was also shared online showing Oluwatumilara partying at a club, spraying cash and dancing joyously. This behavior was seen as further evidence of his deceit and lack of remorse.
As the post continued to gain traction, individuals who had interacted with Oluwatumilara in the past took to the comments section to express their anger and disappointment. Here are some of the reactions from social media users:
