Ummi Zee Zee: I Wanted to Commit Suicide over N450m Scam
Kannywood actress, Ummi Zee Zee has revealed why she was considering suicide, saying it was because she was duped of N450 million.
It would be recalled that a few days ago, Ummi Zee Zee posted what many described as a suicidal note on her Instagram page.
“This days I live a MISERABLE life to the extend that I want to commit SUICIDE, but please non of anybody should ask me why? All I need from you people is a PRAYER!😥,” the post read.
Sharing what led to the post in an interview with Voice of America (Hausa Service), the movie star said a man who hailed from Delta State scammed her, adding that he lost N450 million to him in the process.
Her words: “The reason for my post was because one Igbo man from the Niger Delta, with whom I started crude oil business, said there’s a certain amount of money I had to give for us to start the business, and that I will make half payment and then give the remaining later.
“I didn’t know the man is a fraudster. He defrauded me of a huge amount of money and ran away. I sent him N450 million in dollars and he left with it. I called his number severally but it is switched off. When I checked his social media accounts, I found out that he had blocked me in all of them.
“I now live in Lagos. It was here that I met him and this is not the first time I had done business with him. What surprised me was that he came with some Europeans to prove to me that the business was real and a serious one. So, I never believed he will cheat me.”
