Away from cook-a-thons and world records, Uti Nwachukwu has broken his silence, following allegations of impersonation and fraud.
This comes after an American man known as Chef Anthony Thomas took to social media to call out Uti Nwachukwu, a well-known figure in Nigerian media, accusing him of using his identity to deceive followers on Instagram.
Chef Anthony took to X, formerly Twitter to make this hefty accusation, claiming that he caught the media personality when he called him on Instagram.
According to the chef, Uti had created an Instagram account in his name and impersonated him, using a number of his images in order to get gift cards from friends.
Reacting to the Chef’s allegations, Uti took to his Instagram stories to share a throwback clip made on October 19. The OAP claimed that the video is one of those used to scam people online.
Uti emphatically stated that he was impersonated, debunking the allegations made by the Chef.
