THE Secretary to the Delta State Government (SSG), Dr Kingsley Emu has issued an urgent warning to the public about impostors fraudulently using his office’s name. These scammers, operating via phone number 08085129491 and a fake WhatsApp account featuring the SSG’s picture, are deceiving people by offering fake political appointments and non-existent state government contracts. They are using the bank account details of one Jonah Kumor at Zenith Bank, account number 4235384296, to further their schemes. In response, the SSG’s office has issued a disclaimer to alert the public, urging them to disregard any solicitation messages or phone calls that claim to be from the SSG or his office.
They emphasized that the SSG and his office do not conduct such processes for political appointments or contract awards. Security agencies have been notified, and investigations are underway to identify and apprehend the culprits. The SSG’s office reassures the public that they are working diligently with law enforcement to resolve this issue. The statement from the SSG’s office underscores the importance of public awareness to prevent individuals from falling victim to these scams.
They advise the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or communications related to these fraudulent schemes. As the investigation continues, the SSG’s office has warned those involved in the scam to cease immediately. They reiterated that anyone caught engaging in these illegal activities will face severe legal consequences. The Delta State Government remains committed to maintaining transparency and integrity in its operations and urges the public to stay informed and cautious to avoid being deceived by fraudsters.
