The Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, on Sunday raised the alarm that some impostors have opened Facebook accounts in his designation to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

Ekweremadu, in a verbalization by his Special Adviser (Media), Mr. Uche Anichukwu, verbally expressed the intention of the malefactors was to engage in shady deals and defraud innocent Nigerians.

The verbalization reads in part, “Our teeming adherents and members of the public are hereby admonished not to have anything to do with any of such Facebook accounts, as they have absolutely nothing to do with Senator Ike Ekweremadu or Office of the Deputy President of the Senate.

“Distinguished Senator Ike Ekweremadu has no Facebook account and anyone dealing with or communicating with anyone who claims to be the Deputy President of the Senate on any matter, including contracts, appointments, scholarships, sponsorship, among others, is certainly doing so at his or her or jeopardy.

“The person is conspicuously dealing with fraudsters. His scholarship scheme and other empowerment programmes are handled by the Ikeoha Foundation, a nongovernmental and not-for-profit organisation he founded in 1997.

“The annual scholarship programmes and bursary awards are conventionally advertised and the beneficiaries culled predicated on pre-determined criteria.”
