A popular cobbler who used women’s pictures to con men was arrested again.
After being jailed twice for posing as women and exploiting their images to trick unwary men, Timilehin Oyedele Godwin, a physically disabled cobbler who previously went popular for looking for love online, has apologized several times.
In 2023, Timilehin, also referred to as Timi, became well-known after sharing on social media his wish to find a wife.
His story touched many, as he openly showcased his challenges while dedicating himself to shoemaking. For a while, he was celebrated as an inspiring figure.
However, recent revelations have tainted that image. An Instagram user, identified as Damilola, accused Timi of stealing her identity and using her pictures to deceive men online.
How the scam worked
Timi allegedly catfished men by pretending to be Damilola, even sending downloaded nude photos to make the impersonation more convincing.
His fraudulent activities reportedly dated back to 2022, with several victims misled into believing they were communicating with Damilola.
Screenshots shared by Damilola showed that Timi had opened multiple accounts, including Facebook, WhatsApp, and TikTok, with her details.
Confession and apology
After being called out, Timi made a video confession, admitting to impersonating Damilola and using her pictures to scam men. He acknowledged downloading explicit images online and sharing them to deceive victims.
Despite his admission, Timi tried to downplay the scandal in private messages, describing it as an “old case” while claiming he was only attempting to “redeem” Damilola’s image.
His attempts to dismiss the allegations backfired, leading to his rearrest. Authorities then compelled him to make another public apology video.
