The actress said the impersonator runs a blog with over 2.7 million followers, where false stories are posted in her name.
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has given a final warning to her impersonators.
This is as she called out an individual operating a fake Facebook page using her name and pictures to deceive the public.
The actress revealed that the impersonator runs a blog with over 2.7 million followers, where false stories are posted in her name.
She made this known through a video shared on her Instagram page, where she expressed anger over how the person has been spreading fake news and misleading her fans.
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?’”
