Three comedians in Imo, who were thought to have been eating their faeces in a trending video, have denied doing so, saying that they were only making a comedy skit.
Great Egbuchulam, Solomon Mbata, and Arinze Mbah aged 21, 20, and 21 respectively debunked the video reports while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Owerri on Wednesday.
They denied having anything to do with internet fraud, adding that they were completely misunderstood after an anonymous passerby recorded the video, causing it to go viral on social media.
Egbuchulam, popularly known as “Clean-Mumu” and Mbata popularly known as “Baggy_Universe” identified themselves to be content creators and members of a Comedy crew known as “Funny Embassy”.
Also, Mbah, popularly known as “Dat_Skirtboi” admitted that the video was irritating, but said that it was intended to portray the ills of society and the inordinate quest of today’s youths to make quick money.
He called on youths to desist from internet fraud and money rituals but rather, to work hard and align with legitimate means of making money.
