Akwa Ibom State Governor Pastor Umo Eno

The Akwa Ibom State Government has said the police are on the trail of fraudsters who cloned the mobile phone line of the state governor, Pastor Umo Eno.

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ekerete Udoh disclosed this in a Wednesday statement.

Udoh warned the public against falling for any messages from the phone number soliciting funds. He added that law enforcement agencies have been contacted to fish out the perpetrators.

“Our attention has been drawn to carefully orchestrated fraudulent posts on some social media platforms,  where some criminal elements have cloned the WhatsApp number of His Excellency, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, with an intent to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

“We hereby warn that any message appearing to solicit funds by these imposters should be totally discountenanced by the general public as they do not emanate from the Governor.

“The law enforcement agents have been duly alerted and are on the trail of the perpetrators of this ignoble act,” the governor’s spokesman said.
