Wig Saga:X Users Spot Errors In Phyna’s Letter To Police
BBNaija’s Phyna addresses claim she has a child, considers opening strip club
Phyna, the 2022 Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) winner, has petitioned the police over an allegation that she failed to return a rented wig.
Last December, Phyna was in the public eye after a hair vendor claimed she rented a high-end wig but kept it beyond the terms agreed.
Phyna initially denied the allegations but later admitted renting the wig.
She claimed that the wig was returned after she was called out, but the hair vendor rejected it. She also revealed that she was invited by the Ogudu police division.
But in a letter shared on Wednesday via her Instagram page, Phyna, born Josephine Otabor, called on the police to investigate the matter.
In the letter, the reality star claimed she “was bullied, insulted, and embarrassed” on social media over the allegations.
Phyna also requested that police should help “bring the culprit to book” instead of her “taking laws into my hand”.
“With profound respect to the office of the DCP State CID, Panti, I wish to officially uses this medium to report the nefarious activities of Damilola Olaore of the beauty hair… and others,” she wrote.
“That on the 10 of December 2023, 1 had a movie premia by Funke Akindele at 1 Max Cinema Lekki phase 1 Lagos and I needed a hair stylist to do my hair for me to enable me participate in the acting of the movies which I contacted a fashion stylist one Teniola Azeez Olalekan and I had a transaction with him and I paid for his services.
“As a celebrity and actress my fans saw my name on internet and other social media where… named dbeautyhair, posting and texting bloggers on internet via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp causing insults, assassinating my good name and character thereby putting my brand, image and goodwill into jeopardy.
“As a law-abiding citizen, I don’t want to take laws into my hand therefore, I want the police to investigate and bring the culprit to book, while copies of the postings are hereby attached.
“I will be grateful if the DCP can use his good office to bring justice to this matter.”
But in a follow-up post, the reality star shared another document which appeared to be a letter of apology from the hair vendor.
Phyna’s letter to the police has since triggered reactions on social media, with users commenting on the grammatical and spelling errors.
“I hope say no be real lawyer draft this thing “Air”for hair “Am actress” “Premia”,” a user wrote.

Madam sack your management team if you have any, if you don’t have then get a good team. Yes, nobody is above mistake but the errors on this letter are just too much for a celebrity.

Music legend 2Baba has officially introduced his new partner, lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, to his family in a video that has since gone viral.
The introduction follows a rocky chapter in 2Baba’s personal life, including a widely publicised breakup with his longtime partner, Annie Macaulay, and an emotional plea from his mother urging Natasha to distance herself from the singer.
Earlier this year, 2Baba’s mother, Rose, made headlines when she tearfully appealed to Natasha to “release” her son from what she described as a troubling relationship.
“This message is for Miss Natasha Osawaru of Edo State. I’m calling on all mothers in Nigeria to help me beg her to free my son,” she stated.
The matriarch’s heartfelt message sparked widespread attention, with many wondering if the family would ever accept Natasha as a part of 2Baba’s life.
However, it appears that Rose has had a change of heart.
According to recent videos, Natasha met with 2Baba’s family, including his mother, in a private gathering that seemed to signify a new chapter in their relationship.
The meeting also included other key family stakeholders.
