I was almost accused of stealing in London hotel – Comedian Bovi

Popular Nigerian comedian, Bovi Ugboma, has taken to his instastory to share a recent experience he had at a London hotel where he was almost accused of stealing.

Bovi revealed how he told officials at the London hotel to ‘google’ him in order to save himself, during the interrogation.

According to him, he was to check into a hotel in London on arrival, and was asked to present the card he used in booking the room.

Bovi clearly told the hotel that his wife had used her card to help him book the hotel and she was in Nigeria.

He stated that his explanation did not make the situation better as they thought he was trying to steal.

The comedian further noted that the matter turned worse when his own card declined.

To save himself from the situation, he disclosed that for the first time in his life, he used the word ‘google me.’

Bovi in his post made reference to a popular con man, who goes by the name Simon Leviev, known for Ponzi scheme and internet scam.

He noted that Leviev had ‘spoilt everywhere’ with his escapades and has made organisations more alert to scams and cyber theft.

The comedian wrote, “Simon Leviev done spoil everywhere o. Tryna check into hotel in London and they insist I present the card that was used for the booking.

“I tell them it was done for me by my wife and she’s in Naija. That made it worse. They think I’m stealing. Then to crown am, my own card dey decline.

“For the first time in my life, I said the words ‘google me’.”
