A secondary school student identified as Oluwatunmilara has been exposed for faking his mother’s death in order to solicit financial contributions from members of his school’s alumni WhatsApp group.
The student created and circulated a fake obituary poster announcing the death of his mother, prompting emotional reactions and donations from group members. However, the scheme unraveled when a member who personally 0knew the family raised suspicions about the claim.
Upon investigation, the hoax was confirmed, and the student admitted to fabricating the story in an attempt to raise money. The incident has sparked outrage and concern, with many questioning the moral values and desperation that may drive a young person to such an act.
Authorities have not yet disclosed any disciplinary actions, but the case has triggered broader discussions on youth behavior and the influence of financial pressures.
