Akintunde, in a post she made on Instagram on Friday to bring the activities of the fraudster to light shared screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation involving the impersonator scamming her followers.

Tell me how this country wants to be great, when a lot of people are struggling, working hard to build a name and brand, and boom, one person will take their pictures and name only to be defrauding ppl up and down. Who gave birth to such a child? awon oloriburuku omo, ki oluwa ma je ki won ya lodo wa oooooooo.
“Please disregard any message from anyone, either in your DM or WhatsApp, asking you to send money. Please, it’s not me o; I don’t own this above number o. I would appreciate it if we could find a way to report both the WhatsApp and the Opay account.”
She exposed the impersonator, claiming that his name is Tochukwu Samuel O.
