Nigerian media personality Nancy Isime has issued a public warning against the unauthorized use of her name for business negotiations and professional engagements. In a notice posted on her Instagram page, Isime stated that she had become aware of individuals parading themselves as her representatives without her consent. This announcement became necessary to set the record straight and avoid confusion about who is legally empowered to act for her.

According to Isime, her attention was drawn to instances of certain persons purporting to act, negotiate or otherwise represent her interests without authority. She warned members of the public, particularly brands, agencies, corporate bodies, media houses, event planners, producers and other business associates, to disregard any person claiming to act on her behalf without direct authorization. Isime emphasized that no person or entity is authorized to represent, negotiate, contract, make commitments or otherwise act on her behalf unless expressly authorized by her.

Isime advised anyone seeking to do business with her to confirm the legitimacy of such representatives before committing to any deal or making financial payments linked to her brand. She stated that all persons and organizations intending to engage with her are advised to verify the authority of any person purporting to act on her behalf before entering any arrangement or making any payment in connection with her professional or commercial engagements.

To ensure the authenticity of engagements, Isime provided channels for verification. She stated that for matters requiring formal legal or commercial coordination concerning her, stakeholders are advised to seek confirmation via her website and/or through her legal counsel, PUNUKA Attorneys & Solicitors. This move aims to protect her brand and prevent unauthorized transactions.

Isime also warned that she would not hesitate to seek legal redress against anyone found engaging in unauthorized transactions in her name. She reserved all rights and remedies available to her in respect of any unauthorized representation, dealing, or transaction undertaken in her name or purportedly on her behalf. This statement underscores her commitment to protecting her professional and commercial interests.

The public disclaimer was made on October 6, 2026, and has been shared widely on social media. Isime's decision to issue a public warning highlights the importance of verifying the authenticity of representatives, especially in the entertainment and media industries. This move is expected to help prevent potential scams and misrepresentation.
