ANYBODY SOLICITING MONEY IN MY NAME SHOULD BE ARRESTED- EL RUFAI

Kaduna State Governor-elect, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai on Wednesday directed that anybody soliciting money in his name should be apprehended.
The alert was sent out by a statement in Kaduna by the governor-elect's spokesperson, Mr. Samuel Aruwan.
Mr. Aruwan said an impostor  has created an e-mail address in the name of the governor-elect and is engaging in criminal acts by soliciting money from the general public.
The statement reads,
"Some fraudster with email address: nelrufai@hotmail.com claiming to be Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, Kaduna State Governor-elect has sent scam messages asking people to remit N150,000 to a Mainstreet Bank account.
This is not only a theft of identity; but case of fraud, imoersonation and total misrepresentation of the person of the Kaduna State Governor-elect, Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai.
We are by this notice calling on the general public to disregard any electronic message and others received in this regard, it is criminal and not from the person of the governor-elect.
The public should not only disregard fraudsters impersonating Mallam El-Rufai; but report him/her /them to security agencies or alert office of the governor-elect for prompt action.
This is a clear case of  impersonation as the governor-elect will never ask anyone for money in this way. Anyone that receives this kind of mail request should know it is not from Mallam El-Rufai but fraudulent elements.
The case has been reported to Hotmail and the relevant law enforcement agencies for further necessary action" it stated.
