The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has warned Nigerians over the cloning of the social media accounts of Lanre Issa-Onilu, its director-general, by fraudsters.
In a post on X, the agency said the
perpetrators had created fake WhatsApp and Facebook accounts in the
director-general’s name to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians.
“The perpetrators have been luring victims from the accounts
to this phone number (09066356599), offering contracts, requesting for money,
and other financial favours,” the agency said.
The agency described the act as fraudulent and urged members
of the public to ignore, report, and block any such messages.
“The public is hereby advised to report this account if
contacted,” NOA warned, adding that “the DG has no link to these scammers.”
It also called on Nigerians to stay alert and share the
information widely to prevent others from falling victim.
“Please ignore, report, and block any such messages. The DG
has no link to these scammers. Stay alert and spread the word,” the statement
added.
