Minister of Information and Culture, Lai
Mohammed has warned fraudsters using the
name of President Buhari and those of his
family members and senior government
officials to solicit favour or contracts from
Ministries and other government
establishments to desist from the criminal
act or face the wrath of the law.
In a statement issued in Abuja yesterday, Lai
Mohammed, said the government is aware
that some opportunists have been going
from one government organization to another
with notes purportedly recommending them
for contracts and other patronage, using the
names of the President, his family members
and senior government officials to intimidate
those organisations.
The Minister said the President didn't
authorize any government official to write
notes recommending anyone for contracts or
any form of patronage, and warned those
involved in such fraudulent activities to stop
immediately or face possible arrest and
prosecution by security agents.
He also warned government officials who
may be working in collusion with these con
men to desist from the act or face dire
disciplinary action and prosecution for fraud. Source linda ikeji
