Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna state and his Deputy, Dr Hadiza Balarabe have warned the public against falling for scammers who use their names to seek money from unsuspecting victims.
According to a terse statement from Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House Kaduna, the public is urged to beware and not allow themselves fall for the scammers.
“This is to inform the general public that Malam Nasir el-Rufai and Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe have no connection whatsoever with El-Rufai Better Life Foundation and Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe Foundation.
“The criminals behind these foundations have been extorting monies from unsuspecting members of the public by selling them registration forms with the promise of providing them financial empowerment.
“The public is advised to report any approach by these scammers to the police. Anybody buying registration forms from these scammers does so at his or her own risk. Anyone with information about those involved in this act should report such person(s) to the nearest police station or any security agency or any government official.
“The public is hereby notified that some political scammers are circulating fabricated quotes about PDP defectors, which they are falsely attributing to Malam Nasir el-Rufai. The public should ignore these specialists in division and lies,” the statement signed by Samuel Aruwan said.
