BEVERLY HILLS, July 22, (THEWILL) – Cross River State Governor, Senator Ben Ayade’s Special Assistant on Media and Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Christian Ita, Wednesday, disowned a cloned Facebook account purported to be that of the governor.
Dissociating Governor Ayade from the cloned Facebook account, which is currently being used by tricksters to swindle unsuspecting members of the public of their money for job placements, Mr. Ita, in a statement said: “The said Facebook account is currently being used by swindlers to con unsuspecting members of the public of their money for job offers. This is purely the handiwork of fraudsters and desperadoes who are taking advantage of the job opportunities being created by Governor Ayade through the setting up of the garment factory and the state’s Green Police to scam undiscerning members of the public of their hard-earned money in the guise of offering them jobs.”
While warning the general public to be wary of these criminal elements, Ita cautioned: “Given the antecedent of the governor, he has been known over the years to provide succour to the needy and less privileged in the society through his various charity platforms. He is not one to ask anybody to part with money for favours. If he has not done this in his private capacity, he cannot now do that as a public officer.”
