Popular skitmaker and comedian,  Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu known as Mr Funny or Oga Sabinus has been currently linked to some scam allegations.

A soon-to-be-identified lady took to social media to call out the skit maker for not coming on stage to perform despite collecting millions from the show organisers.

The post read:

“Just like Davido, Sabinus scams organizers of millions fails to show up on stage to perform at a comedy show in Enugu last night.”

“A show-goer has taken to her page to call out comedian Sabinus AKA Oga Sabinus, for failing to show up at an event despite getting paid millions.”

“The lady narrated in the video how guests waited and waited for him to show up but were disappointed to learn that he has gone back to his hotel room.”

“This has reportedly been his modus operandi for a while now, taking money and failing to show up for an event. It was also learnt that Sabinus has neither apologized for his behavior nor refunded the organizers their money.”

Not long after the post made its way to the Internet, individuals took to the comment page to share similar experiences with the comedian.
