In a statement titled “Beware of fake Instagram account impersonating H.E. Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan” on Thursday, his media aide Ikechukwu Eze said the handle @goodluck_ebelejonathan has been deceitfully posting content, some of which were copied from Jonathan’s verified Facebook page.
“Our attention has been drawn to a fraudulent Instagram account operating under the handle @goodluck_ebelejonathan, which is falsely impersonating former President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,” the statement read.
“This impostor account has been deceitfully posting content, some copied from Dr. Jonathan’s Facebook page, while pretending to represent the former President.
“We wish to emphasise that Dr. Jonathan does not operate any Instagram account. The media and members of the public are strongly advised to disregard, avoid sharing, or promoting any content originating from this fake profile.”
