Herb vendor calls out Davido’s manager, Israel DMW over N800,000 business ‘scam’
A herb vendor with the username Mideshaven has called out Davido’s Logistics Manager and socialist, Israel Afeare, popularly known as Israel DMW, for blocking her after collecting N800,000 from her.
The herb vendor made the call in a video shared on Instagram on Friday.
In a now trending video on social media, Mideshaven said, “I contacted Israel DMW for an advert promoting my herbs on his page. He charged N1 million, and I deposited N800,000.
“@isrealdmw wants to rip me off 800k. I am calling online because all effort to reach him has failed. I’ve been begging since December, I sent emails to the Dmw lawyer and managers to speak to him no response guess they didn’t see it.
”In December, I contacted Isreal DMW for an ad video of him promoting my herbs to be posted on his page. He charged one million, and I paid N800,000 deposit when he did the video, and I like it, I’ll send the balance so he can post.
”So, I met him at the airport to give him the products, but he never told me he can’t post. A few days after, he started asking for balance, and I asked for the video. Then he mentioned he can’t post at the time because of what happened to Davido’s son, but he had never told me this before. So I asked for a refund, and he said 30BG don’t refund. Okay, when will you post? He said he doesn’t know.
”After he mentioned this, I also understood the situation, and I was like, I didn’t even think of this, and you didn’t tell me either. Meanwhile, the money was my marketing budget for December. So I said okay, make the video since you can’t post, I will take it to blogs to promote, but he refused, and he said I should send the balance first. And I was like wouldn’t that be stupid of me to give him more money when I haven’t gotten value for what I paid before. he blocked me, and any number I reach him with will block. He has blocked four numbers so far.
”It was just this month after the album launch that he posted a picture of my product bag on his story. This was never what we agreed after waiting four months plus. So when I called him, he said I should bring 10 million for video. Tunji Dmw also talked to him, but he still refused.”
