The Press Secretary to the Governor, Ekerete Udon, who made this known in a statement on Wednesday, noted that law enforcement agents had been duly alerted and will bring the perpetrators to book.
He pointed out that the state government’s attention has been drawn to carefully-orchestrated fraudulent posts on some social media platforms, where some criminal elements have cloned the WhatsApp number of the Governor of Akwa Ibom State with intent to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
“We hereby warn that any message appearing to solicit funds by these imposters should be totally discountenanced by the general public as they do not emanate from the Governor,” he said.
