Beware! Police Warns of A Fake Facebook Account

The attention of the Delta State Police Command has been drawn to a fake Facebook handle created by a mischievous person parading himself as CP Ari Muhammed Ali, who has been using the fake account to defraud unsuspecting innocent citizens. This was contained in a press release by the force image-maker, DSP Bright Edafe.

According to the disclaimer, he disclosed that the fraudster has reached out to some people via the Facebook handle, displaying some pictures of the CP in mufti and in police uniform with the username Muhammad Ali Ari. He further stated that the CP graduated from UNIJOS, which is not true.

He is using the account to fraudulently solicit financial assistance from members of the public who have been led to believe that they are chatting with the CP.

The CP is using this medium to inform the general public to disregard any request or message from this Facebook handle, as it is the handiwork of a criminal element parading himself as the CP with the intent to defraud.

The CP assures members of the public that measures have been put in place with the view of arresting this impostor and to ensure that he is brought to book.
