Nigerian actor IK Ogbonna has denied having any connection to a viral alleged romance scam.

Reports emerged online on Friday morning claiming that the actor had been invited and was being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in collaboration with the FBI over an alleged $75,000 romance scam.

According to the report, the complaint was reportedly filed by a 49-year-old American woman identified as Kimberly Ann, who alleged that she had been involved in an online relationship with the actor since 2025.

Reacting to the claims on his Instagram Story, IK Ogbonna dismissed the report, stating: “This report is completely false, malicious, and without any factual basis. I don’t support, or participate in any form of internet fraud, romance scams, or any other fraudulent activity.”

While warning the general public against the imposters, he said “unfortunately, this is not the first time my name, image, and identity have been used by unknown individuals operating fake social media accounts to deceive unsuspecting members of the public.”

“I have never authorized anyone to represent me online, solicit money on my behalf, or engage in private conversations pretending to be me.

“Please remain vigilant and be extremely careful of impersonators and catfish accounts that exploit my identity to scam unsuspecting people”, he wrote in the disclaimer post.
