Senator Dino Melaye has denied buying a car for his 11-year-old daughter Gbotemi.
In a post on Tuesday on Twitter, he also dissociated himself from the Instagram user Mary Melaye posing as his daughter.
“I have no daughter called Mary and the Instagram account with the name Mary Melaye is fake. How can any responsible father buy even a KIA Rio for a child @ 11,” he wrote.
On Instagram, he added: “Fake account. I did not buy any car for my daughter.”
An impostor had commented severally on Melaye’s Instagram posts on Sunday acknowledging his messages to his daughter on her 11th birthday.
The Instagram user also led the public to believe one of the sons of Melaye had joined the photo-sharing platform.
