        The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a warning in Abuja about the creation of a fake Facebook account in the name of its Permanent Secretary, Amb. Dunoma Ahmed was defrauded by fraudsters.

        “This fraudulent account is being used to spread false information, promise contracts, solicit help, and offer enticing rewards to unsuspecting members of the public,” the ministry’s spokesperson, Kimiebi Ebienfa, said in a statement on Friday.

        Ebienfa said, “The Ministry firmly disassociates itself from this impersonation and urges the public to disregard any messages from the fake account, which is not an official channel.

        “It is important to clarify that the Permanent Secretary does not operate or own any social media account.”

        He advised the public not to engage with individuals or groups behind such fraudulent schemes, as they are deceptive and harmful.

        According to him, the ministry is working closely with security agencies and Meta, Facebook’s parent company, to investigate and shut down the fake account.

        Ebienfa reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to transparency, integrity, and protecting citizens from fraudulent activities across all platforms.
