Faisu writes, ''I want to address an important issue that has come to my attention. There is an account currently spreading misinformation and falsely claiming to represent me-essentially pretending to be me. Please do not believe any content from this account, as it is not authentic. To clarify, I have only one official account on Twitter (or X), with around 12,000 followers. This account is not verified, and I am not very active on the platform. When I discovered the impersonation, l initially reached out to the person operating this fake account. However, they attempted to scam me for money, sol immediately disengaged. Please help me report this fraudulent account to have it taken down, as it is spreading misinformation. I am also taking legal action and filing a police complaint to address this matter formally. Thank you for your support and understanding.''
