The Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dayo Mobereola has denied having multiple social media accounts.
Mobereola’s denial is coming on the heels of the existence of several unauthorized social media accounts making the rounds and purportedly belonging to him.
The NIMASA helmsman in a statement made available to Maritime Bits said it clear that these fake accounts are not affiliated or endorsed by him or the agency, in any way and advised members of the public to be wary and only communicate with official social media platforms.
Continuing in the statement signed by NIMASA Head of Public Relations, Mr. Edward Osagie, Mobereola said: “For the avoidance of doubt, any party that puts itself forward as acting on behalf of NIMASA or any member of the agency’s executive management for any purpose whatsoever is completely false and NIMASA disclaims and bears no responsibility whatsoever for their action.
“Members of the public are hereby urged to treat with suspicion any such offerings and verify their claims in order not to fall prey to these scammers, as NIMASA has not designated any entity or persons to act on its behalf. Please report such incidents to [email protected] or the appropriate law enforcement agencies”.
He expressly disclaimed any liability for any losses incurred by any person(s) as a result of reliance on such fraudulent Facebook accounts, Linkedin, e-mails and other online publications.
