Viral Video Exposes Alleged Nigerian Scammers in UK with Names and Photos on Public Banner
By Joseph Iyaji | Akahi News
A viral video making the rounds on social media has stirred heated conversations after a public banner displaying the names and photographs of alleged Nigerian scammers in the United Kingdom surfaced online.
Banner with “Say No to UK COS Scam” Sparks Outrage
The banner, reportedly printed by some Nigerians living in the UK, carried the bold inscription: “Say No to UK COS Scam”, and was strategically placed in a public area. The intent, according to sources, was to create awareness and warn unsuspecting Nigerians against falling victim to fraudulent activities.
In the footage, several UK-based Nigerians were seen reading out the names listed on the banner, while also revealing the amounts each person allegedly scammed.
Nollywood Actress and Husband Named
Among the names mentioned was a couple, with claims that the wife is a Nollywood actress. The pair were accused of defrauding people through the Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) scheme, allegedly channeling the illicit funds into establishing a restaurant business in Nigeria. Reports also alleged that the couple is making plans to relocate to Canada in order to evade scrutiny.
Online Reactions and Public Caution
The video has since gone viral, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), where users expressed anger, disappointment, and concern over the repeated involvement of Nigerians in scam-related controversies abroad. Some commenters urged Nollywood and the wider Nigerian community to take note, while others demanded that authorities investigate the allegations.
Broader Implications
While the authenticity of the claims has yet to be officially verified, the incident underscores growing concerns about fraudulent practices within migration and sponsorship processes. The exposure has once again put Nigerians in the spotlight, raising questions about reputation, accountability, and the role of community-driven efforts in combating fraud.
