How Ooni Of Ife Allegedly Scammed US-Based Nigerian Woman Of $180,000

Investigative journalist, PidomNigeria has accused the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, of allegedly scamming a Nigerian woman of $180,000.

The journalist known on X as @PIDOMNIGERIA said the woman is a doctor, who has been practicing in the US for 16 years, and wanted to establish hospitals in Nigeria to provide free medical services.

According to @PIDOMNIGERIA, the US-based Nigerian doctor planned to organize free medical services for women and children in Ile-Ife.

Upon seeking guidance, the woman was advised to contact the Ooni of Ife, known for his influence.

She reportedly reached out to the monarch via Facebook, and he responded positively, offering support and suggesting she set up her hospital along the Lagos-Ibadan axis.

Trusting his status, the doctor began sending money to accounts provided by the Ooni, supposedly to start the project.

However, it turned out to be a scam, involving multiple bank transfers to proxies in the US and Nigeria.

PidomNigeria has promised to share detailed evidence, including private messages, bank transfers, and recorded calls.

The doctor, who has not visited Nigeria throughout this ordeal, attempted to recover her money through legal channels in Nigeria but was unsuccessful.

The journalist said the case is now being pursued in the US, adding that the full story, with evidence, will be shared over the next six weeks.

“A Nigerian Doctor who has spent 16 years in the US practicing, wanted to give back to her father land, despite the fact that she is a full-fledged US citizen. She is from Osun state, Ile-Ife to be precise.

“Her life dream was to set up hospitals across Nigeria, where she can render free medical services, starting from her own state of Osun.

“But in order to introduce herself to her people, and to also gain their trust and confidence, she decided to organize free medical service for women and children of IIe-Ife, by coming from the US, with a team of doctors to treat different illness in Ile-ife.

“From there she will proceed to set up the hospital in the town. But as someone who has left for so long, she don’t know how to go about it. She needed the help and direction of someone who is on ground.

“On inquiry, they told her the Ooni of Ife, is the best person to contact for her project. That one, he is young, and he has got great influence. That he will easily key into her dreams, since it will be beneficial to his people and his Kingdom at large.

“She got the direct Facebook account of the Ooni, and messaged him. She introduced herself, then told the Ooni her reason for reaching out to him.

“Few hours later, Kabiyesi replied, and called her video call live from the palace. He said he wanted to be sure, he is speaking with the right person.

“They had a lengthy conversation, he prayed and blessed her.
Kabiyesi told her he loves her dreams, and will be giving her all the needed support. That she should set up the hospital along the Lagos Ibadan axis, where there are frequent accidents every now and then. That there are no good hospitals around, so such idea of her’s will be a fantastic one. That she should could even set up an helipad in her hospital, so emergency cases from other states can be airlifted directly into her hospital. That he will help her to facilitate it.

“She was so happy with the wonderful additions of Ooni. Moreover no one disrespects, doubts or suspects a Kabiyesi.
So the doctor believed and swallowed everything from Kabiyesi hook line and sinker, without an atom of doubt.

“Kabiyesi now took advantage of that to start his series of scamming sprees, that i will be posting evidence one after the other. From private messages, to bank accounts of the proxies he uses, to Forged documents, to receipts of transfers, to recorded private audio calls, to series of threats, and failed promises. Even very dark private damning information.

“I will also tell you how this woman used all the legitimate available avenues in Nigeria to get back her money, but they all killed the case.

“Kabiyesi asked her to send money in order to begin the process. He gave her bank accounts of his proxies in the US, and that of Nigeria.

“The doctor started sending money to his pickers in the US, and in Nigeria. She was doing direct wire transfer left, right and centre.

“The +++ was working perfectly on her, as she kept paying. I have all the accounts she did payments to, and the corresponding message from Kabiyesi. I will post them.

“Remember, while making all these payments, this Doctor has not visited Nigeria for once. She solely believed Kabiyesi and trusted his words.

“Follow this story, it will be a very long read for six weeks, with lots of facts and evidence. I will be sharing receipts with
@DavidHundeyin @fisayosoyombo @SamuelOgundipe @jacksonpbn @Mazi_OJD @UnlimitedEniola, different bloggers and media houses.

“The victim will do series of video explanations, that i will post. She will also speak live on X (Twitter) space for the whole world to listen.

“Other avenues are currently being explored in the US on this case. (Enough is Enough)
