Fashola,
yesterday raised alarm that his phone number has been hacked by some
fraudsters to extort money from members of the state cabinet and
permanent secretary. He said the fraudsters had opened an account in
Skye Bank and used his phone number to send text messages to members of
his cabinet to pay some specified amount of money into it. “I must use
this opportunity to appeal to all citizens and all of those who have
received text messages purportedly being sent in my name. Apparently my
phone has been cloned by some internet fraudsters, they sent messages
round to my commissioners and permanent secretaries asking them to come
and pay money into one Skye Bank account. “Please ignore those messages,
they are not from us.
It apparently shows the desperation to make money by all means.
These are the small crimes, those are the corrupt tendencies that we must all as a nation put to bed.
They are the ones that lead to the bigger crimes. If we focus our
attention on the bigger crimes, we will lose the larger picture.
All of these speak to the need for increasing compliance with law and
order in every state, every local government, every ward, every home.
All of us must rise up and reclaim our country back from this lawlessness.”
Fashola bemoaned the development, adding that making money through cheap means could halt the nation’s value system .
