The accusation went viral after it was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @AsakyGRN, featuring a video of the man recounting the incident.

In the video, he alleges that back in 2014, a then-unknown Omah Lay persuaded him to lend ₦12,000 to invest in the now-defunct MMM Ponzi scheme.

“He owes me ₦12,000. When he was in the hood, he told me to invest in MMM,” the man says.
“I said I didn’t do those things, but he convinced me. I gave him the ₦12,000.”

Omah Lay has not yet responded publicly to the claim.
