A 23-year-old man, Kelvin Enofe, has been arrested by the police for impersonating popular Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna.
The actor made this known via his Instagram account on Tuesday.
According to the actor, the impersonator defrauded a US woman of $70,000 before the law caught up with him.
He went on to issue a stern warning to fraudsters to stop using his name and image to scam people, adding that he will never ask for money on the internet.
He wrote, “ This is to inform the general public once again to be wary of all those who are using my name and image on social media to defraud unsuspecting innocent women in love relationship scam.
‘ One of such is the recent case of one Kelvin Enofe, a 23 years old boy who duped an American woman of over 70 thousand US dollars, but as God would have it, some private investigators came to the rescue of the lady by revealing the true identity of Kelvin Enofe.
“ Consequent upon the said investigation, the Nigerian police went for Kelvin Enofe’s arrest, investigated the matter, and he is currently standing trial at the Igbosere Magistrate Court in Lagos Nigeria.
“ I do this again today to let the general public know that there are a lot more of other persons claiming to be IK Ogbonna on the Internet.
“ I will never ask for monetary favour from anyone on the Internet and if you see such on social media, please report such person or persons to me on my verified social media handle.
“ Great job from Spaurell Private Investigators Ltd and the Nig police. Ik Ogbonna.”
