Online drama series Wadiwa Wepamoyo’s actor Albert Prince Chigiya, popularly known as Tendai in the hit series, has been sucked into a fraud scandal after reports that he duped a woman in a furniture deal.
One of the victims, Nelia Rumbidzai Mutasa, took to social media to share her ordeal.
She stated: “Those who are close to Albert Chigiya please tell him to return my money. He claims he sells furniture. "I gave him my money on April 20, 2024, and since then, it's been one story after another.”
“He claims to have transferred the money into my account but nothing has reflected, and he can't even send a proof of payment. The Glamour Awards, your founder and director is a thief. He is one of the actors of the local series Wadiwa Wemoyo.”
DJ Ollah then hosted a podcast to clarify the issue, contacting both the victim and the accused.
An agreement was reached for them to meet at Hatfield Police Station.
