Minister of
Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has warned fraudsters using the name of
President Buhari and those of his family members and senior government
officials to solicit favour or contracts from Ministries and other government
establishments to desist from the criminal act or face the wrath of the law.
In a statement
issued in Abuja yesterday, Lai Mohammed, said the government is aware that some
opportunists have been going from one government organization to another with
notes purportedly recommending them for contracts and other patronage, using
the names of the President, his family members and senior government officials
to intimidate those organisations.
The Minister
said the President didn't authorize any government official to write notes
recommending anyone for contracts or any form of patronage, and warned those
involved in such fraudulent activities to stop immediately or face possible
arrest and prosecution by security agents.
He also warned
government officials who may be working in collusion with these con men to
desist from the act or face dire disciplinary action and prosecution for fraud.
