The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, on Friday raised the alarm on the activities of some impostors, he alleged had been impersonating him via various social media platforms to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna, the governor said some dubious characters were attempting to capitalise on his goodwill to dupe members of the public, particularly his associates.
He said he had been inundated with complaints from his associates, alerting him of the rapid proliferation of his identity in the cyberspace under different platforms, especially the social media, with obvious intents to defraud Nigerians.
Ambode alleged that a faceless character, who currently operates with the e-mail: a_ambode@yahoo.com had been going about soliciting CVs from his friends and acquaintances with a promise to offer them appointments.
He added that there were multiple identities these faceless persons operate on Facebook with his name and photographs.
The governor urged Nigerians to disregard any offer from these unscrupulous characters, calling on the public to report such fraudsters to the law enforcement agencies to ensure that those behind the nefarious act could be made to face the wrath of the law.
Ambode also assured the public that efforts would be made to apprehend those behind the dastardly act. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
