UK-based Nigerian allegedly scams victims of £21k in COS deal

A UK-based Nigerian man identified as Oluomo of Derby has been called out by multiple individuals who accused him of scamming them in a COS (Certificate of Sponsorship) deal worth up to £21,000.

The allegations were made in a post shared on a popular social media platform, X (formerly Twitter).

The whistleblower who made the post confirmed the incident and shared screenshots of inbox messages from several people who claimed they were duped by Oluomo of Derby.

One of the messages read: “OLUOMO of Derby is owing me £5,000 for COS. I didn’t know about the space on time—it ended before I could join. That guy has no conscience.”

“I nearly had a miscarriage last month because of what he did to me and my family. It will never be well with him. He must pay that money or we will go to court.”

In the post, the whistleblower publicly tagged the accused and wrote: “Dear Oluomo of Derby, the pain you’re causing people with the COS scam, using the cover of being the founder of NIUK, is unbearable. @OluomoofDerby.”

“And for those supporting him, your tears will come. I was called a nuisance and clout chaser, but the end shall justify the means.”

As the post gained attention online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section to share their reactions.

@ExquisiteDemola: “When all of una ready, Una go report this thief to the necessary authorities. For now, make una dey play.”

@symplylivinj: “The January babe should call her bank it’s still within the time frame. They’ll put a cifas marker on his name.”

@VICTORUZONDU2: “Jesus Christ so this shit is real? I admit I was a bit skeptical of him trying to give him the benefit of doubt but this is now crystal clear and obvious he’s truly a fucking SCAMMER.”

@Olaghidey: “Some of you still refused to call this person out because of friendship. But yoh are quick to call out Inec,judiciary, and Nigerian politicians. You are worse off. Hypocrisy is your game.”

@chelsea_freeboy: “If possible, gather the victim and advise them to use a class act lawsuit. It is cost effective than individual lawsuit as they will share the cost of paying the lawyer.”

@VICTORUZONDU2: “So nobody knows where he lives? Hand suppose touch am small.. He needs to be greeted well.”
