PLUMPTRE DEBUNKS QUIT-NIGERIA RUMOURS, EXPOSES FAKE FACEBOOK ACCOUNT

Popular Nigerian actress and content creator, Plumptre, has firmly dismissed circulating rumours that she plans to leave the country, describing them as baseless fabrications aimed at tarnishing her reputation. She also revealed the existence of a fake Facebook account impersonating her and using her image to spread misinformation.

In a statement posted on her verified Instagram account on Friday, Plumptre expressed disappointment over the false narrative that gained traction on social media. “I am not quitting Nigeria. This is my home, and I have no intention of leaving. These rumours are completely false and malicious,” she wrote.

The actress explained that the fake Facebook page, which has been posting content in her name, is responsible for the misleading claims. She urged her fans and the public to disregard any information from the impersonator and rely only on her official channels for updates. “There is a fraudulent account on Facebook pretending to be me. Please report and block it. I am focused on my career and contributing positively to this nation,” Plumptre added.

The rumours reportedly emerged after a series of posts on the fake account suggesting frustration with Nigeria’s economic situation and hinting at relocation abroad. This triggered widespread reactions, with some fans expressing concern while others criticised the move as unpatriotic.

Plumptre, known for her roles in several hit Nollywood movies and her growing influence as a youth advocate, emphasised her commitment to Nigeria. She highlighted ongoing projects in film production and community initiatives that keep her rooted in the country.

Industry colleagues and fans have rallied in support, condemning the use of fake accounts to spread falsehoods. Many described the development as part of a rising trend of social media impersonation targeting celebrities.

The actress called on relevant authorities to strengthen measures against online fraud and identity theft. She reassured her supporters that she remains dedicated to telling authentic Nigerian stories and inspiring young people.

As the entertainment industry continues to face various challenges, Plumptre’s clarification helps quell unnecessary speculation and refocuses attention on her professional contributions.
