Suicide: I was defrauded of N450million — Actress Ummi Zee Zee
<p>Popular Kannywood actress Ummi Ibrahim, popularly known as Ummi Zee Zee, has opened up on why she attempted commiting suicide.</p>
<p>This is coming few days after sharing a disturbing post on IG about contemplating suicide.</p>
<p>According to her, she was depressed after losing N450million to a business partner.</p>
<p>Speaking in an interview with Voice of America (Hausa Service), she said, “The reason for my post was because one Igbo man from the Niger Delta, with whom I started crude oil business, said there’s a certain amount of money I had to give for us to start the business, and that I will make half payment and then give the remaining later.</p>
<p>I didn’t know the man is a fraudster. He defrauded me of huge amount of money and ran away. I sent him N450 million in dollars and he left with it. I called his number severally but it is switched off. When I checked his social media accounts, I found out that he had blocked me in all of them.</p>
<p>I now live in Lagos. It was here that I met him and this is not the first time I had done business with him. What surprised me was that he came with some Europeans to prove to me that the business was real and a serious one. So, I never believed he will cheat me.”</p>
