The Lagos State Government has alerted members of the public to a fraudulent Facebook account allegedly impersonating the Head of Service, Lagos State, Mr Bode Agoro.
The account, operating under the name “Hon. Bode Agoro” and using the Head of Service’s photographs, logos and official activities, is reportedly being used to deceive unsuspecting members of the public, civil servants and job seekers.
According to the alert, the operators solicit and obtain money under false claims involving processing fees, job appointments, employment opportunities and contract facilitation, while falsely portraying themselves as having access to or acting on behalf of the Office of the Head of Service.
The matter has been reported to relevant authorities for investigation, identification of those behind the fraudulent account and prosecution in accordance with the Cybercrimes Act and other applicable laws.
Members of the public are advised to exercise caution and disregard any request for money or personal information from the impersonating account.
