UNICEF warns public against falling victim to scams as it distances itself from Nkechi Blessing’s Ex, Opeyemi Falegan
From its official Instagram, UNICEF Nigeria has warned the public against falling victim to a donation being called for by Opeyemi Falegan, legit.ng had earlier reported.
The organisation of humanity shared a screenshot of an account detail that was made available by Falegan while it also cautioned people not to fall victim to donating their money into the account.
However, hours after making the post, the socialite, Falegan, shared details of the amount of money paid into the account. the money, according to Falegan, was meant to raise people in Ukraine.
He, however, tagged the main UNICEF Instagram page while insisting that his donation efforts were carried out for victims of the Ukrainian war.
