The management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC has raised an alarm over the existence of what it called spurious Facebook account purportedly belonging to its newly appointed Group Managing Director, Dr. Emmanuel Kachikwu.
The NNPC in a statement by its General Manager, Group public Affairs, Ohi Alegbe, noted that the said facebook account which bears the photograph and name of the GMD is the “creation of some nondescript internet fraudsters bent on exploiting the personae and the office of the new GMD to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.”
According to the NNPC, the scammers have been using the fake Facebook page to send all manners of scam letters and phantom contract deals cum cash solicitations to some highly placed contacts within and outside the oil and gas industry.
“While we explore all options to arrest this menace, we wish to advise members of the public to disregard any such FB page purportedly belonging to the GMD of NNPC as he does not operate any Facebook account,” the statement said.
