Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus has cleared the air after being accused of fraud while sharing giveaway money from a sponsor.
Apparently, a good samaritan had reached out to her to sponsor a giveaway of ₦500,000 to assist people during the lockdown.
Eniola, in turn, charged the sponsor the sum of ₦150,000 Naira for bank charges.
This singular act of the actress has elicited a lot of negative comments from social media users.
They were of the opinion that the actress took advantage of the situation to enrich herself instead of helping people.
Meanwhile, the Omo Ghetto actress has taken to Instagram to defend herself and clear the air in order to stop the negative comments making rounds about her.

She took to her Instagram page in a post she has deleted to explain all that transpired between her and the said sponsor.
According to her, she did not take advantage or try to discourage people from using her page to do giveaways.
Badmus, however, debunked the rumors insisting that she only asked for a fee to pay for the bank charges that will be incurred by her.

She, however, said as a businesswoman, there was no way she wouldn’t have had the conversation about her fee.
According to Badmus, the sponsor is already enjoying fame as she tagged him in the giveaway.
A lot of social media users have taken to Instagram and Twitter in search of giveaways to cushion the effect of the lockdown.
Now that the actress has given her side of the story, do you think it was right for her to charge a good samaritan who wished to use her platform to help people? Let us know what you think.
