A slay queen thought she’d gotten away with buying an expensive human hair by sending fake debit alerts to the vendor but was unaware that the vendor was abreast of her antics and had facilitated plans to nab her.
In a video that was shared online, the hair vendor is seen confronting the slay queen who she nabbed after discovering she was in the city when she was about to deliver a new hair to her.
According to the vendor, the slay queen is a regular customer who usually buys from her only when she’s running sales on her items. She realized that there’d always been an accounting imbalance and was reluctant at first before she found out the source.
When she eventually got a hold of where the issue was from, she was fortunate to discover that the culprit behind it was around her city and when she ordered for another hair using fake alerts, the vendor decided to deliver it herself and in the process, nab the slay queen.

While celebrating Nikki’s 41st birthday on his Instagram page, Soul Snatcha wrote ;
”@NikkiLaoye How is it that you turn 41 today and get The Fantastic Four and One added to you ? Maybe it’s because we have been friends for about 20 years , or maybe it’s because of your selflessness or the way you hopped on a plane to help with the children
or it could be the way you are with the children and how much they love you or probably how we both didn’t see this coming.
God just has a funny way of doing what He does.
It’s funny how you went from “ah that’s my sister nau” to “there goes my baby “
God sent you at the right time To be a help that’s suitable . Unknown to both of us, He sent you to mend a broken heart.
As you turn Forty One today ,accept these gifts of Us – The Fantastic Four and One.
I’m excited to see where this new assignment leads, I guess this means I have been sentenced to a life time of grudgingly making Tik Tok videos (Lord help me)
Happy birthday Pretty Nikki ,I Love You ..We Love you so much #NikkiLaoyeAt41 #MeetTheSnatchas”
Madam Tina Ugbonaya, the lady who was accused of seizing her employee’s 5-month-old baby, Chidubem, who is now late, has come out to give her own side of the story.
In a recent interview with Punch, Mrs. Ugbonaya revealed that mother of Chidubem, Gift gave birth to her child in June of this year. She shared that the child was born healthy but lacked maternal care from Gift.
According to her, Gift abandoned her baby one month after giving birth and traveled to the village claiming that her uncle enrolled her for WAEC examination and she needed to go and sit for the exam.
Mrs. Ubonaya also revealed that after she gave birth, Gift had refused to give the child food and denied the child breast milk. She stated that Gift fled her home because she and her husband insisted she must take care of her child. She claimed she took the baby boy to a nurse to take care of as he had emaciated due to Gift’s negligence. Mrs. Ugbonaya claimed to have paid the nurse N30, 000 to take care of the baby. She vehemently denied holding the child captive.
Her husband who also spoke with the publication, corroborated her claims that Gift neglected her child.
On her part, Gift claimed that the husband brought her to Lagos from the village and was taking good care of her. She shared that she welcomed her baby in June this year and that by August she decided to travel home and that when she returned, the couple allegedly started maltreating her.
Gift revealed that the husband asked her to leave their house after accusing her of going out to meet men. She shared that she was thrown out in the night and that when she called the next day to know when to come for her baby, the husband told her she must pay all that they have spent in the hospital which he claimed was N200,000 before she can collect her child. Gift said Mrs Ugbonaya later called her claiming the hospital bill was N5 million and that she must pay the money before she can get her baby back.
