Former Big Brother Naija star Sammie accused of scamming Emmanuel Idakoh out of N4.450 million for a 2025 BBNaija slot. Idakoh claims Sammie stopped communicating with him after taking the money.
Idakoh shared his experience in a viral video, stating that Sammie asked for additional payments, advised him to take a loan, and even requested collateral, including his car. Despite promises of a refund, Idakoh claims he's yet to receive his money back. He expressed hurt and betrayal, saying, "What hurts me the most is the fact that I was not defrauded by a random person but by somebody I trusted so much and considered as my brother."
Idakoh alleged that Sammie asked him to pay N1 million more after the initial payment, and when he couldn't, Sammie offered to cover the cost, expecting reimbursement. Idakoh took a loan with a 50% interest rate and eventually sold his car to pay off the loan.
Netizens have taken to Sammie's Instagram page to demand refunds, expressing disappointment and outrage over the alleged scam. Comments include "Refund his money ole," "Go return his money 419," and "Pay up what you scammed someone."
As of the time of filing this report, Sammie has yet to respond to the allegations or comment on the matter.
