The Lagos State Government is sending out a warning to its residents, notifying them of fake social media accounts in the name of the Governor, Babatunde Fashola, used to extort money from unsuspecting members of the public.
On Sunday, the Special Adviser on Media to the Governor, Mr. Hakeem Bello, stated that Gov. Fashola doesn't do business on Facebook or Twitter.
He said: "Although he (Fashola) has Facebook and Twitter accounts, those are used strictly for communicating government policies and programmes when necessary."
"The Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, does not do business on Facebook. He does not operate a Facebook account that asks people to make cash donations into any bank account."
According to Mr. Bello, the reason for the fresh alarm was a certain Dr. Bukola David attempted to defraud a popular artiste by demanding a certain percentage of money be paid into a bank account.
