The Nigerian faction of the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) has issued a disclaimer on its official Instagram page, @unicef_nigeria, against actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday’s ex-lover, Opeyemi Falegan.
A post shared on the page captured a screenshot of bank account details initially posted on social media via Falegan’s Instagram page.
The humanitarian organization described Falegan’s fundraising efforts as ‘fictitious’ while warning members of the public to be aware.

Falegan shares new post
Hours after the post went live, Falegan returned to his Instagram page with the same account details that had been flagged by @unicef_nigeria.
He, however, tagged the main UNICEF Instagram page while insisting that his donation efforts were carried out for victims of the Ukrainian war.
Falegan wrote:
"We were able to raise 61pounds for the people of Ukraine through @unicef , this is for the people of Ukraine who passed through a lot of dysfunctional/ disheartening situations in recent times."
A video post shared by Falegan equally captured an Instagram feature that allows users on the platform to raise funds, which he used for his donation.

Nkechi Blessing continues to drag Falegan
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a new twist emerged in the ongoing online dragging and messy separation of Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing and her ex-lover, Opeyemi Falegan.
Nkechi shared a screenshot of her chat with Falegan where she asked if they are legally married to each other.
In the caption of the screenshot, she wrote an epistle to apologise to everyone who feels she and Falegan are married and declared that failed relationship is better than a failed marriage.
