In 2023 this young shoemaker from Abeokuta popularly known as Timi on X (Twitter) won the hearts of many Nigerians when he came online to announce that he was searching for a wife.

Despite living with a disability, Timi presented himself as a strong-willed and hardworking young man, which was probably why his story went viral across the Naija social media space, as a lot of people admired his courage and determination.

Fast forward to now, Timi is trending again. But for the wrong reasons. A young lady known as Damilola came on Instagram, to claim that Timi had been using her identity to scàmm men. She shared screenshots as proof. Timi had been sending her pictures to men. Pictures he took from her timeline and circulated without her consent.

Allegedly, Timi opened a Facebook account in Damilola’s name in 2022, complete with a WhatsApp number linked to it. To make matters worse, he also reportedly created a TikTok account with her pictures, where he went as far as sending edited noodeè photos to men while still pretending to be her.

All these he has confessed to on a video by the way.

This is a young man whom a lot of people once admired for his tenacity, why couldn't he stick to his craft? Why and how did he even think of doing such evùl? The disappointment is loud gan.
