LAGOS—The Minister of Works, Mike Oziegbe Onolememen, has said that fraudsters had opened two facebook accounts in his name, warning that anybody dealing with such conmen were doing so at their own risk.

In a statement signed by the Special Assistant, Media, to the Minister, Mr Tony Ikpasaja, Onolememen said: “Our attention has been drawn to the existence of two facebook accounts created and operated by unknown persons using the name of the Minister of Works in the social media. The two facebook accounts also display several pictures of the minister.  The intention of those operating them is, however, doubtful and suspicious.”

The general public is hereby advised not to have anything to do with these face-book accounts, on account of dealing with the Minister, Arc Mike Onolememen, as he does not have or operate any facebook account with his names in the social media.”
