Fraudsters impersonating me –Ashafa

The lawmaker representing Lagos-East senatorial district, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, says fraudsters are impersonating him on social media.

He, therefore, warned members of the public to be cautious so as not to be defrauded.

The senator said this in two separate posts on Twitter and Facebook on Tuesday.

Ashafa said there was a fake LinkedIn account opened in his name which people were using to demand money from members of the public in exchange of jobs.

He said no one should fall victim to such as it was not his style to operate in such a manner.

He said, “It has come to my attention that a LinkedIn account purporting to be mine has been used to commit fraud in my name.

The account in question has been sending private messages to unsuspecting people, promising them jobs.

“I can assure you that my humble self has never and will never deceive or deprive people of their hard-earned money under false pretences.

“While steps are taken to get the account closed and the perpetrators brought to book, note my only LinkedIn account is https://t.co/qF7ME7t4DE.

“Any other account is fake and the operators should be treated as fraudsters.”
