Popular Nigerian actress, Empress Njamah, has denied being engaged to a man from Liberia.
A video of Njamah celebrating her engagement surfaced online on Thursday with many congratulating the actress on the development.
Celebrity designer, Yomi Casual, later said the story of the actress’ engagement was fake, noting that her account was hacked.
However, Njamah, in a series of videos on Instagram page on Friday, disclosed that she was forced to record the video by the man she started having a relationship at a time she was depressed following the death of her friend, Ada Ameh.
The actress said the man, identified as Wade, later changed to a bully and took control of her social media accounts.

She stated that Wade beat her repeatedly and went away from her house with her international passport, among other items.
Njamah further denied Wade’s claims that he has her nude, adding that she was not with other men as claimed by him.
The famous actress said the Department of State Services (DSS) has commenced investigation into the matter.
Wade had posted the video of the engagement via Njamah’s account and claimed that he proposed to the actress on August 18, 2022, with a ring worth $49,800.
He said they were about to get married but he ended the engagement over alleged infidelity and fraud.
Her words: “A guy that one couldn’t even call a human being came into my life in pretence of wanting to marry me, I didn’t know that he had other motives and he came when I was very vulnerable when I lost my friend, Ada Ameh.
“I’ve been speaking to this guy for months on phone, speaking to people I thought were his relatives. Everything is just scam. He came into my life, said he could not leave me because I wasn’t okay. I really wasn’t okay. I was hiding it from the press.
“The death of my friend broke me down so bad I could not function and he said he was going to stay with me. I didn’t know he was busy gathering his tools, his materials, which he was going to use to blackmail me.
“Afterwards, he had my naked videos, and he changed. He started hitting me and when I wanted to talk and tell him this can’t work; he blackmailed me with my own videos and said I’m going nowhere and that’s when he turned into an animal. Beats me anytime, locks me up, put the keys in his pocket, in my own house.
“He wrecked me, finished everything. This person I’m telling you actually got a ring and forced me to do a video, which he posted on my page because he has access to my page. He changed all the passwords, logged me out of every email I have, everything I have, all my phones, my iCloud, everything, I don’t have access to anything.
“This guy came back, after looking for me, took my car, took my international passport, he took my remaining money. He took my iPad, my earpods, he had two bags of my valuables, took the car and left. He has the guts to be sending threat videos saying whatever I do, whoever I tell he’ll put it out there.
“I’m not the one handling that page. #empressnjamah is not been handled by me. Go to my page and see the video he posted, does that look like something I will post? I was under duress posting that video called engagement.”
