Beware Of Fraudsters, NNPC Alerts Public On Impersonators Of Top Official

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has cautioned the general public against falling victim of suspected fraudsters who plan to use the name of its Chief Operating Officer, Upstream, Mr. Roland Ewubare, to defraud unsuspecting members of the public on social media.

NNPC said the suspected fraudsters have created a fake social media account on LinkedIn in Ewubare’s name with the aim to swindle their preys, especially, foreign stakeholders, via the platform.

The Corporation raised the alarm in a statement by its Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Ndu Ughamadu, on Saturday.

The statement reads, ‘’For the avoidance of doubts, Mr. Roland Ewubare is the Chief Operating Officer, Upstream of the NNPC. The position ascribed to him in the phantom Linkedin profile does not exist and totally a product of the fraudulent imagination of the authors,’’ the NNPC said.

According to the NNPC, the fake Linkedin account “is reminiscence of the barrage of bogus NNPC recruitment platforms which it repeatedly clarified.”

The Corporation urged members of the public and stakeholders across to be cautious of such “fraudulent contraptions designed to fleece people of their hard earned resources.”
