One Kelvin Ogodogu, a Nigerian,
will be spending the next 10 months with hard labour in a Ghanaian prison for
impersonating Ghanaian actor, Majid Michel and defrauding a fan of the star
thousands of dollars.
Kelvin Ogodogu posed on facebook as
the star and was soliciting for funds to bury his dead mother who passed on few
weeks back. A Nigerian who was a great
fan of the actor fell for Kelvin’s lies and sent him several thousands of
dollars to assist with the burial.

Just like Oliver Twist, Kelvin was
said to have kept asking for more money from the woman who goes by the name
Ikay.
Unfortunately for Kelvin, the woman
was said to have ran into the real Michel Majid in the US recently and she
accused him of asking her for more money despite the fact she had sent him
several thousands of dollars. Michel who
was said to have been extremely embarrassed denied asking or receiving money
from her and informed her that she most likely have fallen prey to an internet
fraudster.
A plan in collaboration with Majid,
the woman and Ghanaian authorities who all agreed to play along was put in
place. The greedy Kelvin Ogodogu was
arrested on 15th November 2014 when he went to receive another money
purportedly sent to him by Ikay.
