Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos state has raised alarm that his email and phone has been hacked by some fraudsters who has been going about asking people to deposit money into a particular bank.
Fashola warned unsuspecting members of the public and companies from falling victims to the fraudsters.While speaking yesterday,BRF as he is popularly called disclosed that those who hacked into his phone has been sending all sort of messages to people asking them to pay into an account.
In a post on facebook, fashola said “Dear Lagosians, please ignore an SMS currently in circulation asking you pay money into a Skye Bank account belonging to Agazie Stephen C. for a Crucial State Emergency. It is a hoax. Agazie is not a staff of the Lagos State Government and has no authority whatsoever to collect funds on behalf of the LASG”
We also gathered that the governor is also worried that his phone must have been cloned by some internet fraudsters. Fashola said they have been sending messages to highly placed personalities, including commissioners and special advisers to pay money into a particular account.
It would be recalled that a former governor of Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu also said unknown persons hacked into his phone with intent to defraud people. He said some of those who called the messages asking them to pay into a bank account called him to confirm but others simply fell for it.

Did he fall victim? I would have been happy had they cleaned his private account or accounts of looted money. They are all the same I just don’t trust these politicians….. Fear for what? Criminals are not afraid because they are not governed by reasons just like the politicians (criminals of course) all over the world they are all thieves though the ones in Nigeria are extra-ordinary. I hope he and the rest of them get scammed the next time around….. Awom Ole –dede.
