The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, on Friday alerted the general public on the activities of those impersonating him via various social media platforms with the intention of defrauding unsuspecting citizens.
Ambode, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna, said some unscrupulous characters are 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 rapid proliferation of his identity in cyberspace under different platforms, especially the social media, with obvious intents to defraud Nigerians.
He said a faceless character, who currently operates with the e-mail: a_ambode@yahoo.com, is going about soliciting for CVs from his friends and acquaintances for appointments.
Ambode 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.
He called on them to report to the law enforcement agencies to ensure that those behind the nefarious act can be made to face the wrath of the law.
Ambode also promised that efforts will be made to nab those behind the dastardly act.
