A Lagos-based content creator has come forward with disturbing claims of assault after allegedly falling victim to a fake modelling invitation in the city.
According to her account, she was contacted online by an individual who claimed to represent a modelling agency seeking fresh faces for a promotional campaign.
The offer, which promised good pay and exposure, reportedly appeared legitimate, with professional-looking messages and assurances of a safe, private audition.
She said she was asked to attend a “casting session” at a location in Lagos that was presented as a temporary studio space.
However, upon arrival, she allegedly discovered that the setting was not what had been described. The content creator claimed that the situation quickly turned uncomfortable and later escalated into an assault.
