The Secretary of the Presidential Campaign Council of the
Governing All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu,
James Faleke has raised the alarm over unscrupulous elements who hacked his
official Facebook account.
Faleke lamented that these unscrupulous elements hacked his
Facebook account to extort unsuspecting Nigerians.
He issued a ‘Disclaimer’ in a statement where he disowned
the perpetrators of the crime.
Faleke identified the hacker as Lukman Johnny who works with
the Federal Ministry of Agriculture in Abuja.
The hackers are asking unsuspecting Nigerians to pay the sum
of N18, 000 in order to access an Empowerment fund from the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu Campaign Organization.
Unsuspecting Nigerians were asked to pay the sum of N18,500
into a designated account provided by the hackers.
However, the Chairman of the House of Representatives
Committee on Finance urged Nigerians to disregard the message.
The statement reads: “I have been inundated with reports
from several Nigerians about the activities of some unscrupulous elements who
hacked my official Facebook account, to extort unsuspecting Nigerians.
“One of the individuals behind this fraud is also sending
messages to unsuspecting victims using the name of a certain Lukman Johnny with
phone number 08147136835, and who is said to be a staff of the federal ministry
of agriculture in Abuja.”
The message reads: “Johnny on 08147136835 tell him i
directed you, he is the director in charge of the empowerment fund in federal
ministry of agriculture here in Abuja, he will guide you on what to do’.”
Faleke denied knowledge of such empowerment funds being
allocated by Tinubu.
The lawmaker urged Nigerians to track and report the
activities of the hackers to security agents.
“I wish to put on record that I am not aware of any
empowerment fund being allocated or distributed to any individual or group of
persons by Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, or by myself,” he added
