Fake Uti Nwachukwu Exposed! Read Chats

So this chic Temmy got an invite from a Fake Uti Nwachukwu on BBM, obviously knowing it’s not Uti, cos Uti has warned people several times online to be aware of the fake guy going around, pretending to be him. She then played along.

He felt he could lure her into bed by offering her a N12m modelling contract. He asked her to pay a certain code fee and asked if she could sleep with a certain man (which will definitely be him) so she could get the contract without going back and forth.

She later came online to tweet their chats at Uti.
