UN denies awarding Tonto Dike, calls her award ‘illegal’

United Nations, UN, has distanced itself from the alleged ambassadorial deal with Nigerian actress, Tonto Dike.

This comes after the actress took to her Instagram page to flaunt a new ambassadorial deal she alleged was from the international organization.

But reacting, the Director of United Nations Information Centre for Nigeria, Ronald Kayanja, announced that the award has nothing to do with United Nations, adding that it was illegal.

The statement from the UN country rep has led to the actress receiving a lot of backlashes online.

Recall that earlier this year, the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission also disowned an ambassadorial deal credited to the organization by the actress.
