I don’t have Facebook account – Ogbeh

Th e Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh has debunked having any Facebook account, saying any Facebook account attributed to him is fake. Th e minister in a statement signed by his Adviser, Media & Communications, Dr. Olukayode Oyeleye, said some impersonators have been defrauding Facebook users with the name and photographs.

“It has become imperative to emphasise that, despite several earlier public warnings, some online impersonators have continued to open fake Facebook accounts using his name and photographs in desperate attempts to defraud unsuspecting people. An earlier statement, issued on May 3rd, 2017, to warn the public about this scam is hereby re-emphasised, that Chief Ogbeh has no personal Facebook account. Accordingly, all Facebook accounts in his name are fake.

“It is important to stress that, although many such fake accounts have earlier been shut down by Facebook repeatedly on the Minister’s request, more have continued to spring up, luring people with phoney off ers of agricultural loans, grants and bogus or non-existent government programmes, aiming at defrauding the unsuspecting prospects, “ he said
