Veteran Nollywood actress, Empress Njamah, has cried out online about being blackmailed by a “scammer” who came into her life disguised as a lover.

Congratulatory messages poured in for the actress from fans, colleagues, and well-wishers; however, it was later revealed that her account was hacked and the video was put up by the hacker to mislead the public.
