POLICE INVITE PHYNA OVER FAILURE TO RETURN RENTED WIG.(PHOTO).


Police invite Phyna over failure to return rented wig

Former Big Brother Naija winner, Josephine Otabor, popularly known as Phyna has been invited by the Nigeria Police over her alleged failure to return a rented wig after the expiration of the rental period.

Recall that a hair vendor recently called out Phyna for allegedly refusing to return a “rented” wig after the expiration of the rental period.

Despite initially denying the allegations, Phyna in a video shared via her social media page recently, admitted renting the wig, saying she returned it after she was called out but the hair vendor rejected it.

According to her, she decided to keep the wig because the damage the hair vendor did to her was more than the price of the wig.

She said the hair vendor came to her house with some police officers and dropped a letter after they met her absent.

Phyna said, “Yesterday, my younger sister called me and said I’ve visitors in my house. I asked who they were and she said two policemen, the hairstylist and one woman. I asked who the woman was but she said she doesn’t know the woman.

“And they dropped a letter. Because it’s from the police I want to know what to do. It reads, ‘This is the Nigeria Police. Invitation to the police.’ They now put my name, my address. Then it continued, ‘From the DPO Nigeria Police Ogudu.’ I don’t know where Ogudu is, but I will find out.”
