Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has publicly called out an individual operating a fraudulent Facebook page under her name and using her photographs. She expressed her frustration through a video shared on Instagram, highlighting how this impersonation has been misleading her fans.

According to Ojo, many of her followers believe the Facebook page is officially hers, unaware that it is actually a fake account set up to exploit her reputation. She clarified that she had previously reported the account to Facebook, but the impersonator circumvented this by renaming the page to “Iyabo Ojo Lovers,” making it appear as a fan page rather than an impersonation.

Ojo explained that she joined Facebook primarily to expose such fake accounts and protect her identity from being misused. The actress revealed she had been aware of the impersonation for some time, but the situation worsened when she noticed the fake account was copying content from her verified page.

She described the impersonator’s actions as deceptive and issued a warning for them to immediately remove her name and images. Ojo also addressed the broader issue of celebrity impersonation on social media, noting that similar accounts exist on platforms like TikTok.

This behavior, she emphasized, not only damages her credibility but also confuses her audience, who frequently send her messages asking about posts she never made. The actress urged the impersonator and others involved in similar activities to stop using her identity to mislead the public.

She warned that if the fake page continues to operate under her name, she will take further steps to ensure its complete removal. Ojo stated: “This video is directed to whoever is impersonating me and using my name. The page has 2.7 million followers on Facebook. I have tried reporting this account to Facebook. The person 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.”

She continued: “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 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 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?'”
