Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday disassociated itself from a “fake Facebook account” purportedly issuing false information and awarding contracts to the general public using the name of one of its permanent secretaries, Ambassador Dunoma Umar Ahmed.
The disclaimer was announced in a statement signed by the Ministry’s spokesperson, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, on Friday.
The Ministry’s attention was drawn to the fake Facebook account, “purportedly created in the name of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Ambassador Dunoma Umar Ahmed,” by unscrupulous individuals.
