The Office of the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, issues a stern warning to the public concerning a deceptive online loan application making rounds on social media platforms.
Dubbed “N200,000 Palliative Loan By the Senate,” the fake offer displays a misleading image of Senator Akpabio alongside the coat of arms and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) logo.
Disseminated on Facebook under the account name Templeshort, this fraudulent scheme falsely promises instant loan approval.
It is crucial for the public to disregard this misleading advertisement, as it did not originate from the Office of the President of the Senate. Instead, it is the crafty work of fraudsters aiming to exploit unsuspecting Nigerians.
Hon Eseme Eyiboh, the official spokesperson for the President of the Senate, emphasizes that the Senate has no association with Templeshort and disavows any connection with a Facebook handle operating under that name.
Additionally, the President of the Senate is not involved in any loan program or palliative arrangement.
“Senator Godswill Akpabio is not collaborating with the CBN or any other financial institution on any loan facility as a form of palliative,” underscores Hon Eyiboh.
The public is strongly cautioned to exercise vigilance and caution against these deceitful tactics employed by criminals targeting unsuspecting Nigerians.
Advertisements like the one claiming Senate sponsorship for loans or palliative measures are false. There is no such loan or palliative initiative within the office of the President of the Senate or under the name of Senator Godswill Akpabio.
Hon Eyiboh urges the public to dismiss such scams and promptly report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.
