The Federal Government has sounded a note of warning to fraudsters allegedly using
the name of President Muhammadu Buhari and those of his family members and
senior government officials to seek favours or contracts from Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), reports ITRealms.
Some MDAs and
other government establishments, ITRealms gathered have been overwhelmed by such a request which FG described as criminal act and culprits may face the
wrath of the law.
Speaking in Abuja, the nation’s capital, the
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji 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 Special Assistant (SA) to Hon. Minister of
Information and Culture, Segun Adeyemi in a press statement made
available to ITRealms on Wednesday, that 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.
