Appearing on Oyerepa Afutuo on Oyerepa TV on March 5, 2026, the woman said her woes began when she spoke to her boyfriend, who was then in Ghana, about her plan to build a home and asked him to monitor the project.
She stated that she began sending him money to buy land and commence the house project, which he also claimed he was building.
The boyfriend, now her ex-lover, reportedly even sent her pictures showing the progress made on the ongoing construction.
Christabel said she began getting suspicious when her partner informed her that he had used his name on the house documents.
