#News - Governor warns against social media scammers using his name

He said some unscrupulous characters were attempting to capitalise on
his goodwill to dupe members of the public, particularly, his associates.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos state has alerted Nigerians on
the activities of some unknown people impersonating him through the
social media to defraud the public.

Ambode said this in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary,
Habib Aruna on Friday, July 3.

He said some unscrupulous characters are attempting to capitalise on
his goodwill to dupe members of the public, particularly, his associates.

Ambode said he had been inundated with complaints from his associates
of the rapid proliferation of his identity in cyberspace under different
platforms, especially the social media.

"A faceless character, who currently operates with the e-mail:
a_ambode@yahoo.com, is going about soliciting for CVs from his
friends and acquaintances for appointments," Ambode said.

He also alerted the public on the multiple identities these faceless
persons operate on facebook with his name and photographs.

Ambode, therefore, urged Nigerians to disregard entreaties from such
persons, calling on them to report to the law enforcement agencies to
ensure that those behind the nefarious act could be made to face the
wrath of the law.
