She’s Been Had: Actress Bukky Wright Loses N40m To 419ers

Top Yoruba and Nollywood actress and producer, Bukky Wright, is not a happy woman at the moment as she was recently taken to the cleaners by some fraudsters popularly called 419ers and the huge sum of N40 million was conned from her in her attempt to buy a property in Lagos. We learn that the Chivita brand ambassador was skillfully swindled from her after she was approached by a close family friend about the property. Bukky, out of ignorance, flew into Nigeria, inspected the said property and being satisfied with it, and wrote a cheque of N40 m to the swindlers and like the con men they are, the guys went into thin air and have not been seen since then. When Bukky tried all avenues to retrieve her hard-earned money back, she was said to have realized that she has been taken for a ride. Though it is not known if she has reported the case to the police, we gather that she has swallowed the bitter pill, knowing that it will take the grace of God for her to get her money back. “It was at the beginning of the Ramadan season that Bukky resolved to leave everything in God’s hands,” a source reveals.
