The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly seized a Range Rover allegedly gifted to former Big Brother Naija housemate, Rebecca Nengi Hampson, by her sugar daddy, Micheal Diongoli.
In July 2022, billionaire Micheal Diongoli, a Ponzi scheme operator was arrested and arraigned before a Federal High Court in Lagos State for allegedly defrauding a retired Army colonel, two professors, a co-operative society, among others of the sum of N1,286,580,656.
Diongoli, who was arraigned alongside his two firms, UK-Don Group and UK-Dion Investment Limited before Justice Lewis-Allagoa, is facing eight counts of conspiracy, obtaining by false pretenses, and fraud.
The flamboyant billionaire was accused of defrauding his victims, under false pretense of multiple returns on investment within the period of six months to one year.
In July 2021, Nengi flaunted her newly acquired Range Rover worth N40 million, a few months after she bought a new mansion in Lagos.
Although Nengi credited her achievement to her consistency, dedication, and hard work, Instagram blogger Gistlovers refuted that claims, saying the Range Rover was a surprise gift by her alleged billionaire lover Micheal Diongoli.
According to Gistlover, Diongoli, who is married with kids, was dating Nengi and was responsible for her frivolous lifestyle and several features in movies.
Following Diogoli’s arrest for fraud, many of the billionaire’s properties were confiscated by the EFCC, including the ones he gifted his numerous side chicks.
A Twitter user who broke the news of Diongoli’s arrest alleged that the EFCC had seized the reality star’s Ronge Rover as proceed of crime.
