Super Falcons of Nigeria centre-back, Ashleigh Plumptre, has raised concerns over a rising case of online impersonation involving her identity.
Ashleigh Plumptre raised the alarm shortly after the Super Falcons opened their 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) campaign with a commanding 3-0 win against northern African side, Tunisia.
Plumptre, who was instrumental in the victory, helped anchor the defence to a clean sheet. The victory reaffirmed the Super Falcons’ dominance as nine-time African champions and the 2024 WAFCON Group B leaders.
Following the match, the England-born centre-back addressed the media, shedding light on a troubling issue affecting her off the pitch.
“There have been a lot of cases where people impersonate me, taking my name and saying things,” Plumptre said.
She pointed to a specific instance involving a fraudulent Facebook account that had been misleading followers by making false promises.
“There’s a Facebook account that’s being taken down, but it is promising people money and things like that and that’s just not true,” she explained.
Plumptre further clarified that she does not currently use Facebook, warning the public against engaging with any active account under her name.
“I have a personal Facebook account but I don’t even use it,” she said.
