One of the most vocal twitter user and Nairobi-based lawyer Steve Ogolla has been trending for a better part of Sunday—29th Dec— after he alleged a Facebook Woman parody swindled their KSh500,000 wedding funds.
In a depressing Facebook post, Steve Ogolla narrated how he was financially whacked by a Woman named Dorcas Sarkozy, who he had never met.
“I was in a fake relationship with this ‘lady’ and she conned me in excess of 500K, planned a fake wedding and nearly drove me to suicide. I reported to authorities but she came back and blackmailed me by sharing my private love WhatsApp chats with her to third parties,” Ogolla wrote.
Here is randomly samples tweets in response to the Lawyers Facebook post.

These streets are very bad nowadays. If you are conned go close your door, say a prayer, thank the Lord for making you wiser and forget about it. Don’t say anything to anybody. But if it goes public just know that those laughing at you loudly are past victims who hid their sins.

In his response, the now trending lawyer has said that is past history and nothing from his post is affecting his present life as he’s in Mombasa eating with a big spoon in this festive season.
I'm trending. That's an old story from May/June 2018. It was picked from my comment on a friend's Facebook post yesterday where I recollected a past experience of an online extortion. As it is, I'm Mombasa Serena enjoying my holidays upto Jan. 3, 2020. Thanks for the concern. pic.twitter.com/o9Mnakvjjs
