Governor Ambode said some unscrupulous people have been attempting to capitalize on his goodwill to dupe members of the public, particularly, his associates.
Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has alerted Nigerians on the activities of some unknown people impersonating him through various social media platforms to defraud the public.
Ambode said this in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna on Friday, July 3.
He said some unscrupulous characters are attempting to capitalise on his goodwill to dupe members of the public, particularly, his associates.
Ambode said he had been inundated with complaints from his associates of the rapid proliferation of his identity in cyberspace under different platforms, especially the social media.
"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 said.
He also alerted the public on the multiple identities these faceless persons operate on facebook with his name and photographs.
Ambode, therefore, urged Nigerians to disregard entreaties from such persons, calling on them to report to the law enforcement agencies to ensure that those behind the nefarious act could be made to face the wrath of the law.
