The Lagos State governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, on Friday, alerted the general public on the activities of some people impersonating him via various social media platforms with the intention of defrauding unsuspecting citizens.
The governor, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna, said some unscrupulous 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 of the proliferation of his identity in cyberspace under different platforms, especially the social media, with obvious intents to defraud Nigerians.
The governor said a faceless character who currently operates with the e-mail: [email protected] was going about soliciting for curriculum vitaes from his friends and acquaintances for appointments.
He also alerted the public on the multiple identities these faceless persons operate on Facebook with his name and photographs.
The governor, 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 act would be made to face the wrath of the law.
