Abiodun Ademujimi, a hair stylist based in Abuja, has accused Chialika Nnamdi, the founder of El Phyna Hairs, of selling inferior weaves and refusing to take them back.
Ademujimi told FIJ that she met Nnamdi in a closed WhatsApp group in early July, where the hair vendor advertised human hairs for sale.
After she became convinced that what she had been seeing might seem like a good deal, she paid Nnamdi N144,000 for four pieces of human hair weaves on July 11 and N2,500 for logistics.

When Ademujimi received the product on July 18, she was shocked to discover that only one out of the four delivered human hairs was authentic.
“Three of the four were far different from what she constantly advertised to the group. I could not believe it because before I paid, she assured me all her products were original,” Ademujimi told FIJ.
Immediately after she knew Nnamdi had played a trick on her, Ademujimi contacted the vendor to apprise her of the shocking discovery, but the vendor was not having it.
She said the vendor refused to accept the weaves, insisting that all of her products were original even though this claim is off the mark.
“I told her I would send the weaves, but she rejected this proposition. Now she no longer takes my calls or responds to my messages,” she said.
“When I chatted to her with a different line, I learned she has no physical shop where she sells these weaves. She probably gets them from another seller.
“One of my colleagues, disguised as a potential buyer, chatted to her about picking up her orders at her physical store, but she told me that she didn’t operate that way because she used a dispatch rider for everything she sold.”
FIJ contacted Nnamdi, the hair vendor, but she denied the allegations stating that what she sent to Ademujimi was what she had advertised.
