Nigeria – The Federal Character Commission (FCC) has alerted the public over the circulation of a fake Facebook/WhatsApp account purporting to belong to its Acting Executive Chairman, Hon. Kayode Oladele.
According to a statement by Chizea C.C.
Director, Public Affairs & Communication of the Commission, the fraudulent operators of the fake account are using the Acting Chairman’s photograph to send friend requests to unsuspecting Nigerians.
“The impostors falsely claim that the Acting Executive Chairman is offering recruitment opportunities and political appointments.
“The Commission hereby wishes to inform the general public that Hon. Kayode Oladele does not own or operate any Facebook or WhatsApp account for the purpose of recruitment, employment, or political appointments. Members of the public are strongly advised not to accept any friend requests or engage with such fraudulent accounts in any way.
“Those who may have already accepted such requests are advised to immediately block and report the fake accounts to the appropriate security agencies to avoid falling victim to online scams.
“The Federal Character Commission remains committed to safeguarding its integrity and protecting the public from fraudulent schemes. Kindly be guided and have nothing to do with these fraudsters”, Chizea stated.
