Former Citizen TV news anchor Jacque Maribe has come forth condemning a Twitter account purporting to be hers.
Sharing on her Instagram account, Maribe has said she doesn’t have a Twitter account and neither is she on twitter.
Her call comes a few days after a twitter profile was created claiming that Maribe was making a comeback to twitter. What fascinated many was the hilarious reactions from netizens as they ‘welcomed’ her back.
The said account @JacqueMaribae was created in January 2020, but the account posted for the first time on April 19, 2020.
With a caption ‘Hello Twitter, ‘ which had many of us assuming she was the one running the account.
After some investigation, the account has already garnered 10k followers even though it has only been operating for a few days now.
It was also noted that on the account’s bio, the owner indicated it to be a burlesque account.
This, therefore, means it is intended to cause laughter by mimicking the manner or spirit of serious works. Creating Maribe’s Parody just to entertain.

The word is derived from Italian word burlesco, which, in turn, is derived from another Italian word burla meaning a joke, ridicule or mockery.
