Faded female singer, Sophia Nantongo seems to be in a whole lot of trouble after she got accused of fraud by a still unidentified man. The man in question while appearing on Spark TV’s Livewire said that he was promised by the singer to get him a job in the United States. He mentioned that he proceeded to pay 11 million shillings as asked for to the singer as a pre-requirement for processing his documents.
This man also says that he, upon request from the singer gave her his passport for her to extract all the necessary details about him. All this was done in the month of June and according to him, he had been given to at least October to have everything finalized and ready for him to fly out.
What assured him of Sophia being authentic is that she’s a friend to the gentleman’s sister. He therefore didn’t think that she would con him hence trusting her with such a huge amount of money. He went ahead to mention however that the day she called him asking him for certain info is when he learnt that something about her is fishy because the information she was asking for could be got from his passport.
“Sophia promised me and others to get us jobs in the US and we paid her money. We were supposed to give her 15m shillings but for my case, I paid 11. I got the referral from my sister and it’s what I took as a guarantee that she’s authentic . “ Said the gentleman.
He was unfortunately not the first one to go through this process as he and other members who had met this problem filed a case at Jinja road Police station. The singer was arrested last month but barely spent a day there. According to this gentleman, she bought her way out of the holding cells.
“However, since then she’s been playing ping-pong with us and all was set to have been finalized by October but nothing is conclusive yet. We sued her and she was arrested but got released the following day after bribing,” he said.
To prove his word, he went ahead to contact her and when he did, he asked her about when she would be able to refund him, she told him to keep calm because she was still working on a few things and once she was well settled, she would refund his money.
