Testimonies against Ukhano

A number of screenshots surfaced of Ukhano conversing with girls on Snapchat and attempting to steer the conversation towards a more sexual course. In many of these screenshots, the women on the other end seem to be uncomfortable with Ukhano’s unsolicited advances. Additionally, the vlogger stops the women from taking screenshots of that chats – probably explaining why he used Snapchat in the first place; a social media app where messages disappear after they have been viewed.
