Majid Michel’s imposter arrested for attempting to defraud lady
A 37-year-old Nigerian has been arrested by the La
Police for impersonating actor Majid Michel and
trying to defraud a 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
Myjoyonline.com 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.
