The National Examinations Council warned people about criminals using a fake Facebook page to steal money from citizens. Someone created the false account using Professor Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi's name and job title as registrar. Azeez Sani works as acting director for information and public relations and signed the official warning statement. The education council wants everyone to know about this scam before they lose money to the fraudsters. NECO officials hope their public alert will protect innocent people from falling victim to these online thieves.
Criminals built the fake social media profile to trick people into sending them cash or personal information. The examination board stressed that Professor Wushishi never created any Facebook account for official business purposes. Council leaders believe the scammers want to fool students and families into paying fake fees or sharing private details. The false page might claim to offer special exam services or results that do not exist. Education officials worry that desperate students could easily fall for these online tricks.
Security agencies received reports about the fake account and will investigate the criminal activity. NECO asked law enforcement to track down the people responsible for creating the fraudulent Facebook page. The council promised to work with police and other authorities to catch these internet scammers. Government officials plan to take strong legal action against anyone caught running fake education accounts. The examination board will continue monitoring social media for other false profiles using their staff names.
