Family of the late Moses Adejumo, popularly known as Baba Sala, has cried out over the tricks of some scammers warned who have opened an online account for the funeral of the comedian in order to scam unsuspecting members of the public.
Speaking for the family, the eldest son of the late comedian, Rev’d Bamidele Adejumo, said on Tuesday that, the family had not opened any account for the funeral of his father contrary to the claims of some fraudsters.
Bamidele said, the family was embarrassed that some persons had opened a fake account and soliciting funds from unsuspecting members of the public.
He, however, warned members of the public against paying into this account, saying anybody who wanted to donate funds to the family should come to Ilesa where the family of the late comedian resided.
“We have not opened any PayPal account or any online account. The claim is false information. The family has not asked for anything from anybody. We have not met and nobody is soliciting anything from anybody yet. If we will be expecting anything from any fans, admirers or anybody at all, it will be freewill donation.
“We have not opened any PayPal site or any intent account for people to donate to. Anybody who wants to donate anything to the family should please come to the family in Ilesa. Such people can come with pressmen and take photographs to document it.
“They should have standard record and avoid fraudsters. They should avoid fraudsters, who are posing as members of the family”, he said
Also, another son of the deceased, Emmanuel, went on Facebook to call on the public to ignore the plea, saying that the family knew nothing about it.
Emmanuel said, “It has come to the knowledge of the Adejumo family that someone has posted that the family needs assistance, therefore, people should be donating into a PayPal account. This is a scam ooooo, big scam. Please kindly ignore this, it’s not from the family. Please do not honour it.”
Baba Sala, 82, died in his sleep on Sunday night after taking his supper. The family said his youngest wife, Funmilayo, had gone to his bedroom to check on him when he discovered that he had died.
