A Nigerian student, Adesanya Oluwatumilara, is facing widespread backlash after allegedly faking his mother’s death and sharing a false obituary in order to scam his classmates of millions of naira. The accusations, which gained traction on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), claim that Oluwatumilara pretended to be grieving to solicit financial support from peers, only to reportedly use the funds for personal indulgence, including lavish outings.
Viral posts include images of Oluwatumilara and a video showing him celebrating at a nightclub, throwing money and dancing — behavior that has intensified public outrage. Social media users condemned the alleged deception, with many calling him a shameless fraud. Some also accused him of previously using fake scholarship claims to deceive others.
Reactions have poured in, ranging from disbelief to anger, with some users calling for legal action and warning others to steer clear of him.
The situation has sparked heated conversations about trust, accountability, and the lengths some individuals will go to for personal gain.
