Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has alerted the public about fraudulent schemes falsely linked to her name, warning against falling victim to scammers.
According to the minister, fraudsters have created fake social media accounts and bank details, falsely promoting empowerment schemes, grants, and trade exhibitions. Some victims have already lost significant sums of money to these scams.
She further clarified that official communications from her office do not involve requests for financial transactions via social media. Many of these scams falsely claim to offer government-backed financial support but require unsuspecting victims to pay upfront fees.
The minister reiterated her commitment to public service and transparency, urging Nigerians to remain vigilant against cyber fraud.
