A social media activist and medical doctor, Dr. Vibrant Nifemi, has called on Nigerian and United Kingdom authorities to investigate allegations of financial misconduct involving media personality Susan Coker, popularly associated with the social media platform Rant HQ.
Nifemi claimed that he had received close to 100 payment receipts from individuals who allegedly suffered financial losses in transactions linked to Coker.
According to him, preliminary reviews of the documents submitted to him indicate that the alleged financial exposure connected specifically to land transactions could be close to ₦300 million, while the total amount allegedly involved in visa-processing-related payments remains difficult to determine because additional complainants are still submitting receipts.
He further alleged that some of the payments were made in US dollars, British pounds and euros, claiming that one category of alleged transactions could amount to approximately $300,000.
The activist stressed that the figures were based on receipts and reports submitted by alleged victims and that the documents would be presented to relevant authorities for verification and investigation.
£30,000 Village Headmaster Dispute
Nifemi said one of the earliest complaints brought to his attention came several years ago from Mr. Olusegun Ogunyeye, who allegedly entered into an agreement with Coker concerning the development of his group, known as Village Headmaster.
According to Nifemi, Ogunyeye claimed that he paid Coker approximately £30,000 under the arrangement but that the proposed work was allegedly not carried out.
He said Ogunyeye subsequently complained that Coker became difficult to reach and allegedly avoided him when he sought clarification and requested the return of his money.
Nifemi recalled that when he contacted Coker over the matter, she allegedly described the disagreement as a case of “prick and punani.” The activist said the response surprised him, adding that his interest was not in Coker's private life but in the financial allegations raised by complainants.
He also claimed that Ogunyeye was subsequently described as mentally unwell when he allegedly sought to recover his money.
Activist Says More Complainants Are Coming Forward
Nifemi said the number of people contacting him over alleged financial losses has continued to increase, particularly in relation to land and visa-processing transactions.
He said the receipts and other materials supplied by complainants would need to be independently authenticated by law-enforcement agencies before any conclusion could be reached.
The activist also alleged that some complainants had received threats after speaking publicly about their experiences and claimed that Coker had threatened some individuals who reported their cases to him.
Calls for Nigerian, UK Authorities to Investigate
Nifemi said he had contacted Coker before making the allegations public in an attempt to explore a possible settlement, but claimed that his messages were read without a response.
He subsequently called on relevant Nigerian agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), to examine the complaints and determine whether any criminal offences had been committed.
He also appealed to relevant authorities in the United Kingdom to verify reports and complaints that he said would be submitted concerning alleged activities involving members of the Coker family in the UK.
Nifemi said the purpose of the complaints was to ensure that allegations involving substantial sums of money were subjected to proper investigation rather than settled through social-media exchanges.
‘Let the Authorities Establish the Facts’
While making strong allegations against Coker, Nifemi said the receipts and complaints in his possession should be subjected to official scrutiny.
He maintained that his concern was not Coker's personal or private life but what he described as multiple financial complaints from people who claimed to have lost money.
The activist said he would continue to pursue the matter until the relevant authorities investigated the allegations and established what actually happened.
The allegations remain claims at this stage, and the amounts cited by Nifemi have not independently been established. The submission of receipts to an activist or media platform does not, by itself, constitute proof of fraud or other criminal wrongdoing.
Coker has not been independently quoted in this report responding to the specific allegations. She should be given the opportunity to respond to the claims, and any response received will be published in accordance with journalistic fairness.
