People Are Gaining Employment By Providing Fake Governor's Letter In Enugu State

“This announcement is to, hereby, draw the attention of members of the public, especially those who have been reached or contacted by the suspected fraudsters and to urge them to totally disregard any communication extended to them through that cell phone number purporting to have emanated from His Excellency, the Governor.”

“Regrettably, the attention of the governor, has again, been drawn to yet another phase of suspected fraudulent activities, this time, in the social media, where Facebook accounts have been opened with the name and photograph of the governor, perhaps, with the aim of defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.

“This urgent announcement is, therefore, to alert and urge members of the public not to fall prey to the antics and possible nefarious activities of these suspected fraudsters. All official business dealings with the Enugu State government and the governor should be transacted through the Government House, Enugu, and not through any social media platform.

“The governor, however, appreciates the genuine support and goodwill of the various groups and supporters, who have remained steadfast in supporting him as he serves the good people of Enugu State with the fear of God.”

“this has been going on for a long time now; the admin officerat the Parklane has severally protested against this but the CMD remained adamant.
“The admin on several occasions raised the alarm, asking the CMD to investigate the letter but he refused; the letters kept coming and he kept forcing the admin to issue them employment letters and to create staff files for them.

“It was expected that when such letter comes, the CMD would through the Secretary to the State Government find out if the letter was genuine, but this he never did. It this raised suspicion that he may know much about it.

“This continued until some members of staff could not bear the situation; they had to alert the Governor and he was really so much embarrassed over the development.”

  “Good evening, we are doing a report on the alleged employment of some workers at the Parklane using fake Governor’s letter. We need a reaction from your office please.” He didn’t respond to the message.

On Monday, our correspondent called his mobile line again. When he eventually picked, he admitted receiving the text message and then asked “hope I have the right to say I don’t want that report.”
