The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has disassociated itself from the Opeyemi David Falegan Foundation (ODF) owned by actress Nkechi Blessing’s ex-lover Opeyemi Falegan, alleging that his foundation is involved in fraudulent activities.
In a statement posted on its verified Instagram page on Friday, the organsiation stated that it does not have any partnership with the foundation to raise funds for UNICEF.
In the scam alert post, a screenshot of the ODF foundation seeking donations from the public on behalf of UNICEF was posted, warning the public against sending funds to the account details shared in the message.
The statement read: “SCAM ALERT ❌UNICEF Nigeria is aware of a fictitious donation drive to raise funds for UNICEF. Please be aware that all legitimate campaigns for donations are hosted on the UNICEF website www.unicef.org and verified social media pages. Do not fall victim to this scam.”
