37 year old Nigerian arrested for impersonating actor
Majid Michel & trying to defraud US-based Ghanaian
lady

the Nigerian, Kelvin Ogodogu, was arrested Saturday
night through the help of some of his neigbours in Kosoa
in the Central region.

Mawuli Akpabi, a friend of the actor told Gistsdaily
that the Nigerian, posing as Majid Michel on Facebook,
solicited funds from unsuspecting persons.
Kelvin, had told the lady, whose name was given as Ikay,
in the US that he will be burying his mum soon and badly
needed financial assistance to do that.

The lady, believing that she was chatting with the actor,
agreed to transfer an amount of $5,000 to the imposter
but an accidental meeting with Majid in the US brought
to light the fact she was rather dealing with an imposter.
The actor, who was worried about the development, set
up a surveillance system in Ghana where the lady was
urged to still deal with Kelvin.

The suspected fraudster was arrested by neighbours who
had been alerted by the police after he made attempts to
retrieve a $1,000 sent by Ikay.


Kelvin admitted to the Police that he had been defrauding
unsuspecting persons in the name of the actor for the
past two years.

He is expected to appear before the La Dadekotopon
Municipal Assembly (LaDMA) Magistrates’ Court in
Labadi Wednesday, November 19
