Count me out of any credit card fraud allegations. The rumour is not true at all. Yewande Adekoya Abiodun was not arrested in the US for any bank fraud. I was in Nigeria at the said time and I am still in Nigeria at the moment. In fact i did not travel out of Nigeria this year because of my very tight schedule. I am an upright citizen and I have never been associated with anything illegal. All claims of this sort should be disregarded. It was fabricated. I went LIVE ON IG from Lagos Nigeria on the day the news broke. I dare whoever came up with this nonsense to present a video or even a picture to support their illogical claim.
