Recent winner of Big Brother Naija All Stars, Ilebaye Odiniya, has come out to clarify that her social media post telling fans how to donate to her was not intended to solicit funds.
Ilebaye made a post on her X handle instructing fans how to donate to her barely 24 hours after she won the N120 million grand prize of the BBNaija All Stars show.
The post made on Monday morning read, “We’ve received information about fans planning to send gifts or contributions. Please refrain from sending money to any account that isn’t officially posted on Ilebaye’s verified accounts. For gifts, please send an email. The only accessible account is the Baye Tribe account (9608176782 – Providus). We won’t be responsible for any misappropriation of funds. Thank you.”
Ilebaye’s post sparked mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians criticizing her for “soliciting for more funds so early after winning N120m million.”
In response, Ilebaye’s management made a post clarifying that her initial post was not to solicit funds, but to prevent fans from falling victim to scammers.
The handler wrote; “This tweet was solely to avoid people who want to give gifts falling into the hands of scammers.
“We didn’t solicit for funds, we only highlighted the account we have access to.
”Too many fake account numbers are circulating and we will not be held accountable for any misappropriation.”
