Popular Nigerian singer, Chike, has publicly called out a social media user identified as Chioma Nneoma Ochibili for allegedly defrauding him of about $20,000 (N28 million).
The music star made the allegation in a series of posts on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday morning, where he accused the woman of collecting $20,000 from him for a business deal that allegedly never existed.

According to Chike, he only recently realised that he may have been scammed after waiting for the supposed business to yield results.
“Chioma Nneoma Ochibili, so you are a thief? That’s how they do. They will tell you they are doing certain business. Her business is to survive on your money,” the singer wrote.
He further claimed that the alleged fraud was not limited to him, suggesting that other people may also have fallen victim to the same scheme.
“$50,000 in the air. $20,000 of my hard-earned money I didn’t see either. How do I find out this late that I’m just another person she has duped? Even me I de laugh myself,” he added.
The singer also warned his followers and the general public to avoid doing any form of business with the woman.
When asked by some users online to explain the type of business transaction involved, Chike said the exact nature of the deal was not the main issue, insisting that the alleged business itself did not exist.
“Whatever business Chioma sells to you is not the issue. The big issue here is that the business does not even exist, which then equates to fraud,” he explained.
Chike also revealed that he has already started taking steps to recover the money he allegedly lost.
As of the time of filing this report, Chioma Nneoma Ochibili has not publicly responded to the allegations made against her.
