“He further stated that the CP graduated from UNIJOS which is not true. He is using the account to fraudulently solicits for financial assistance from members of the public who have been deceived to believe that they are chatting with the CP.
The CP is using this medium to inform the general public to disregard any request or message from this Facebook handle, as it is the handiwork of a criminal element parading himself as the CP with intent to defraud.”

The CP assured members of the public “that measures have been put in place with a view to arresting the impostor and to ensure that he is brought to book.”
