Ovaioza was arrested on April 18 by police officers from the Force Criminal Investigations Department (FCID), Abuja, while attempting to flee the country with her husband.
However, before her arrest, and while the ‘business was still booming’, she ‘hired’ several social media influencers to help promote her ‘brand and business’.
ADA UJALIGWA
One of such influencers is Ada Ujaligwa, a verified ‘public figure’ with over 100,000 followers on Facebook.
On many occasions, Ujaligwa made several posts on her page, promoting Oviaoza’s business, and encouraging all her followers to invest in it.
LAMI TANKO
With over 60,000 followers on Facebook, Lami Tanko, a brand strategist, was another influencer who benefitted from the scheme. Tanko once made an appreciation post, thanking Oviaoza for a shopping spree and for the money she sent her.
However, when it became clear Oviaoza was a fraudster, Tanko quickly distanced herself from the activities of OFPSB, saying she was never a friend of its CEO. She also recently claimed the public appreciation she once posted to thank Oviaoza was just a ‘stunt.’
OKAFOR CHRISTABEL
Okafor Christabel, a content creator with over 15,000 followers on Facebook, was recently a recipient of N1 million from Oviaoza, for being the first-runner up in an online contest that had nothing to do with OFPSB.
The prize money Okafor went home with from the actual organisers of the competition was N150,00.
NWA OKPOKO
Nwa Okpoko, Ovaioza’s lawyer and adviser, also recently received a car gift from OFPSB’s CEO, whom he fondly calls ‘Wire Wire’, and her husband.
“Yesterday evening, Wire Wire and her man, David, pulled up in my house in two cars. I didn’t even get the memo till they D (David) got out of this Benz and handed the key to me,” he wrote in a post.
GAIL CHUKWU
Gail Chukwu, also known as Gail of Lagos, a screenwriter with over 15,000 followers on Facebook, was also one of Oviaoza’s associates and promoters.
“I remember listing five things I wanted, to move my vlog forward, and asked the universe to make it happen,” she said in a December 2020 post.
“Well, she did. Ovaioza messaged me today and asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told her a ring light and a body mic. She said okay and sent the money for them.”

They are also constantly praiseingeach other on their respective profiles. Recently, Marline confessed to encouraging people to invest in the business, when she recently came out to reveal the truth about Oviaoza’s business.
Recently, Marline confessed to persuading people to invest in the business. She made the confession while revealing the truth about how Oviaoza had squandered her investors’ billions.
At least, if you must share news about happenings, you could do people the favor of sharing the truth. When y’all come on your blog to type things like this, do you realize how much harm you’re doing to the people you blog about?
Some of us are victims of this in ways you can’t imagine and have gone out of our way to find out the truth, make it public for investors to know and are helping to see that people get paid at the end of the day, fighting for this and working hard for restitution and you come to your blog to post that I, Marline,
“ confessed to encouraging people to invest in the business, when she recently came out to reveal the truth about Oviaoza’s business.

Really?
You don’t see how much harm this kind of misinformation can do to someone? You don’t see how defamatory this is?
Nothing about any of this is okay! You can write your blog and still report your news with no need for half truths and outright lies.
You need to take this down. Nothing about this is okay.
