Excerpts of Reno Omokri statement:

Dear followers,

I lost access to my personal profile after the said Natasha Akpoti did a giveaway to her supporters to encourage them to report my profile without basis.

Facebook makes these judgments via Artificial Intelligence, and it is easy to trick the system by making a coordinated series of reporting, which they did three days ago. It seems it is permanent.

It is a profile I have had since 2007, so it grieves me that I appear to have permanently lost it.

Because of the antics of people who were motivated by ₦10,000 each. It is still there, but I can’t post anything or edit, delete, or affect it. But such is life.

However, I still have access to my professional Facebook page. That is why you only see me on the professional page my team created last year.

My Instagram page is a bit iffy too. They reported it. But God willing, it will stay on. However, even if it does get taken down, please follow my back up page @TheRenoOmokri.

I love you all and really wish I could buy you all tickets to join me in sunny Santorini, Greece, for a party to celebrate my vindication. But, you are all always in my mind.
