The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has advised Nigerians to be wary of corrupt elements who want to exploit the Coronavirus situation to defraud people.
NIMC uploaded a public notice advertorial on its official Twitter account on Wednesday, placing a ‘SCAM’ text across the picture.
The advert claimed that federal government is paying 8,500 naira to Nigerians due to the sit-at-home order.
And added that people should click a particular link.
But NIMC stated that people should not disclose their National Identification Number ( NIN) to the scammers, as the contents in the picture are false and fraudulent.
