Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo has sent a fiery final warning to a Facebook impersonator who has allegedly been using her name to dupe unsuspecting fans.
The popular actress, known for her blunt and fearless personality, took to her official Instagram page to expose the fake account and warn the culprit in bold terms.
Many people think the Facebook site is hers, she claims, without realizing that someone else is using it to profit off her reputation and image.
Ojo claimed that although she had previously reported the account to Facebook, the impostor swiftly changed its name to “Iyabo Ojo Lovers,” giving the impression that it was a fan page.
“I joined Facebook primarily to expose such fake accounts and protect my identity from being abused on the social media platform,” she explained.
She said, “This video is directed to whoever it is that is impersonating me and using my name. It has 2.7 million followers on Facebook. I have tried to report this account to Facebook. The person went and changed it to Iyabo Ojo Lovers, so at the time, Facebook thought it was my fan page. This is not my page. I don’t know who owns it, and I don’t know who created it.
“A lot of people think I own the page. That’s why I joined Facebook myself, to report pages like this. Take my name off this page and my picture. Take it off. Because the next time you will look for this page, it will be gone. I’m not capping with you.
“You’ve used my name to gather 2.7 million followers. If you know you want to be a blogger, don’t be greedy. Create your own identity now. Everything I post on my page, you go and post on this page. You are definitely monitoring me.
“Why are you using my name to be blogging? Making people feel like I’m a blogger. And it’s not funny anymore because you put my pictures there and you blog, you carry different news. It’s madness.
“I know there are a lot of people impersonating me on Facebook, on TikTok, everywhere. But this particular one has been verified and has a lot of followers. Every day I keep getting messages in my DMs like, ‘Did you write this? Did you post this?’”
