 • A parody LinkedIn account alleged own by Abdulrasheed Bawa has been discovered

 • The EFCC said the account is being promoted by an impostor

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has warned the public of a fake LinkedIn account allegedly linked to the Chairman of the anti-graft agency, Abdulrasheed Bawa.

A signed statement by EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said the account is being promoted by an impostor.

“The account which is promoted by an unknown impostor is, unfortunately, attracting unsuspecting followers desirous of networking with the Executive Chairman of the EFCC.

“The Commission states that the account is fake and has no relationship with the EFCC Chair.

“Consequently, members of the public are warned to be circumspect and desist from further interaction with the impostor whose motives are sinister,” EFCC said.

Bawa was confirmed in February by the Senate as the new chairman of the EFCC after the suspension of Ibrahim Magu, following allegations of insubordination and corruption levelled against, says Channels TV.

The forty-year-old has worked with the anti-graft agency for 16 years and is a Certified fraud examiner and anti-money laundering expert.
