The Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, has distanced himself from Facebook accounts purportedly opened in his name by unidentified persons.
He said this in a statement on Saturday, in which he said some persons had opened the accounts in his name using his pictures and were chatting with unsuspecting members of the public who were under the impression that they were chatting with him.
“So many people called me on phone that they were chatting with me on Facebook. I stand here to say I don’t operate Facebook account,” he said. “If anybody creates Facebook account with my name and pictures. The person is a criminal. Ignore such person.”
