A 25-year-old Nigerian lady Munachim Onyia who was recently declared missing has sparked mixed reactions on Twitter after some users accused her of faking her kidnap.
The lady identified as Munachim Chukwuma Onyia has been accused of absconding with over one billion Naira belonging to Nigerians who invested in a business scheme she operated.
Her brother Jordan on Sunday via Twitter alerted the general public about his missing sister, whom he claimed had not been seen for about 10 days.
In a Twitter thread, he said his sister was last spotted at her office in the early hours of April 29 and had gone missing since then.
