In a post on his official Facebook account, President Muhammadu Buhari’s special adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, has denied fake Facebook accounts which have been opened in his name.
The presidential spokesman disclosed that he had seen accounts which were not his and therefore asked the perpetrators of such devious acts to desist.
I have noticed that some unscrupulous people have opened various Facebook Accounts in my name, demanding monetary assistance and posting spurious job vacancies to dupe unsuspecting members of the society.
The lists include Office of the Special Adviser to the President, Amnesty Office,Abuja with 731 friends, Special Adviser at Politician of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 47 friends,Femi Adesina Media and Publicity, 14 likes, Femi Adesina interest, 204 likes, Femi Adesina Newspapers , 50 likes and Closed Group of friends who like Femi Adesina.
I state categorically, that these accounts are created for the purpose of mischief, and are hereby disclaimed.
The accounts that are official are my Fan page with over 28,000 likes and my first account opened in 2011 with over 300 mutual and over 50, 830 friends.
Thank you and God bless.
Femi Adesina,
Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari
