Fraudsters clone Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi ’s Facebook account
After hacking into the Airtel cellphone number of Governor
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State two weeks ago, his Facebook account has
also been hacked and cloned by fraudsters.
Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Uwakwe Abugu, who
disclosed this in Enugu yesterday in a statement, said the general
public should take note of the fraudulent act.
His words: “Regrettably, the attention of the governor, has again,
been drawn to yet another phase of suspected fraudulent activities, this
time, in the social media, where Facebook accounts have been opened
with the name and photograph of the governor, perhaps, with the aim of
defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.
“This urgent announcement is, therefore, to alert and urge members of
the public not to fall prey to the antics and possible nefarious
activities of these suspected fraudsters. All official business
dealings with the Enugu State government and the governor should be
transacted through the Government House, Enugu, and not through any
social media platform.
“The governor, however, appreciates the genuine support and goodwill
of the various groups and supporters who have remained steadfast in
supporting him as he serves the good people of Enugu State with the fear
of God.
