Nollywood actor Alesh Sanni has publicly called out a woman for falsely accusing him of blocking her after she sent nude photos to an impersonator.
Taking to his Instagram page, Alesh shared screenshots of a conversation between the woman and the man pretending to be him. In the chat, the imposter requested private photos, and after receiving them, he blocked her.
Expressing frustration, Alesh chastised his followers for being gullible enough to fall for scammers using his name. He emphasized that he would never ask for or share intimate images.
You people are so dàrdt to fall for whosoever claims to be me … don’t use your OBO as a giveaway … period … Cos I will never share nude,” he wrote.
This isn’t the first time Alesh has had to deal with impersonation. Last year, he placed a N500,000 bounty on a woman scamming people while posing as his friend. Despite attempts to resolve the issue privately, he was shocked by her dismissive response. In a follow-up, Alesh expressed dismay at the increasing number of scams, given the economic hardship in Nigeria.
Alesh’s concerns echo those of other Nigerian celebrities who have been victims of impersonation. Portable’s baby mama, Ashabi, recently exposed a scammer using her photos to defraud people. The scammer mocked her when she reported the account, calling her names.
Similarly, Peter Okoye of PSquare has repeatedly warned fans about fraudsters using his name. He pointed out that such scams contribute to the rise in internet fraud. Entrepreneur Obi Cubana has also dealt with impersonators, clarifying that he does not use Twitter.
