UNILORIN Warns Against Social Media Accounts Created For VC

The Management of the University of Ilorin has warned the public about the most recent scams that con artists have been using to con unwary Nigerians by creating phony social media profiles.

The institution alerted the public in a statement provided to Ilorin news media and signed by Mr. Kunle Akogun, Director of the Corporate Affairs Department.

It implied that the scammers’ only goal was to defraud people of their hard-earned money.

“These rogues use fake social media platforms, like WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Facebook and Messanger to make all sorts of demands from members of the public in the name of the vice chancellor.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Prof. Egbewole does not operate on any of those social media platforms.

“Members of the public should, therefore, be wary of the antics of these unscrupulous elements and be adequately guided not to fall for their pranks,” the statement warned
