The defender moved to set the record straight after a social media post, which circulated widely online, claimed she was unhappy with the federation and planning to sever ties with the Super Falcons. According to Plumptre, the statements were completely fabricated and originated from a fake Facebook account impersonating her.
The former Leicester City star stressed that she has never made any comments about leaving the national team and has never requested financial assistance from fans or members of the public.
“I want to make it clear that I never made those comments and I have never asked anyone for money.
“The Facebook account circulating those claims is fake, and the people behind it are trying to deceive and exploit Nigerians,” Plumptre said.
Fake Account Used to Spread False Information
The controversy emerged after posts from a Facebook page bearing Plumptre's name alleged that she was unhappy with certain demands from NFF officials and was considering ending her international career with Nigeria.
The claims quickly gained traction across social media platforms, prompting concern among supporters of the Super Falcons, many of whom questioned the authenticity of the statements.
However, Plumptre has categorically denied any connection to the account, describing it as the work of fraudsters seeking to take advantage of unsuspecting fans.
The defender reiterated that she has never issued such statements and warned supporters to be cautious of individuals using her identity to spread misinformation or solicit funds.
Law Enforcement Agencies Involved
Plumptre revealed that the matter has already been reported to the appropriate authorities and that efforts are underway to identify those behind the impersonation.
According to her, law enforcement agencies have been notified and investigations are ongoing, while steps are also being taken to have the fraudulent Facebook page removed.
“We are taking the necessary steps to report the account and bring those responsible to justice. I urge everyone to ignore the posts and remain vigilant against online scammers,” she added.
Commitment to the Super Falcons Remains Strong
The clarification will come as a relief to Nigerian football fans, given Plumptre's importance to the Super Falcons setup in recent years.
Since switching international allegiance to Nigeria, the defender has become a key figure in the national team, earning widespread admiration for her performances, professionalism and commitment to representing the country.
Her statement effectively puts to rest speculation surrounding her future with the Super Falcons and reinforces her continued dedication to the team.
As online impersonation and social media scams become increasingly common, Plumptre has urged supporters to verify information from official sources and avoid engaging with accounts that claim to represent public figures without proper authentication.
For now, the defender's message is clear: the reports linking her to comments about leaving the Super Falcons are false, and fans should disregard any posts from the fake account circulating online.
