The Lagos State Government via the Governor’s office has alerted members of the public to be weary of some people who may fraudulently use the office to commit criminal act.

This security alert came to the fore, over the weekend after a middle-aged woman was arrested following an intelligence on the usage of the Governor’s office to seek visas for some members of the public

The suspect (name withheld), via an e-mail sent to the Embassy of Italy in Lagos allegedly posed as an official of Lagos State government and sought the country’s visas for some unsuspecting Nigerians

The embassy however wrote to the Governor’s office to authenticate the claims, which were later found to be false.

In the meantime, the office has warned members of the public not to deal with any persons who parade themselves as government representatives in consular matters.
