The Speaker Abia State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Engr. Enyinnaya Orji has warned members of the public against falling victim of impersonators who are using his name on pseudo social media accounts to defraud innocent citizens of the state and Nigeria in general.
Rt. Hon. Orji in a statement through his Chief Press Secretary, Jude Ndukwe issued Saturday, debunked his presence on any social media, especially, facebook.
The Speaker who frowned at the manner criminal elements who created multiple fake social media accounts were using such to rip off members of the public with offers of non-existing jobs in some State and Federal agencies, including the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and defraud them of their hard-earned money in the process said that such action has been reported to the appropriate security agencies for proper actions to be taken.
The statement with the title, “Public Notice: CRIMINAL IMPERSONATION OF MR SPEAKER” read “It has come to the knowledge of the Rt Hon Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji that some criminal elements who impersonate Mr Speaker on the social media particularly Facebook/ Facebok Messenger, lure unsuspecting members of the public with offers of non-existing jobs in some Federal agencies including the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and defraud them of their hard-earned money in the process.
“The bank accounts the criminal elements use in defrauding innocent members of the public through these antics are as follows:
“1.Name: Michael Jacob Bank: FCMB Account No: 7130906014 2.Name: Lera Eveline Bank: Fidelity Bank Account No: 6324183303
“One of the names (suspected to be fake), phone number and email address they also use are: Name: Umar Hamisu Phone Number: 08149753544 Email: umar.hamisu@yahoo.com
“While the fraudulent activities of these criminal elements have been reported to the relevant authorities for appropriate action, and also to the Management of FCMB to shut down the fraudulent account in order to safeguard members of the public, citizens are by this announcement strongly advised not to respond to any message on the social media purportedly coming from the Speaker nor fall prey to the antics of the impersonators.
“Let it be stated clearly that Mr Speaker does not have any Facebook account, therefore, cannot contact anyone via the app for whatever purpose.
“Thank you.”
