Actress Kemi Afolabi has alerted her fans about scammers who have been using her pictures and name to commit fraud on Facebook, saying they are taking advantage of her situation.
Kemi, in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, said her doctor told her she has only five years to live after revealing she has lupus.
According to her, she had lived just one year after the doctor’s pronouncement, as she tearfully noted that she didn’t know how much she had left.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the 43-year-old lamented the use of her name and image against her consent on Facebook as she warned fans to beware of impersonators.
Sharing screenshots of the Facebook pages, she wrote: “It has come to my notice that some malicious individuals are taking advantage of my situation by using my name and image against my consent on Facebook.
“I am Kemi Afolabi/Afolabi Kemi on Facebook. I hereby beckon on all my fans and lovers to disregard and report these impersonators. Let’s ensure that unsuspecting individuals do not fall victim of fraud from these impersonators, thank you.”
