The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has disowned what it describes as a fake LinkedIn account that is being attributed to its Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Prof Umar Garba Danbatta.
The commission stated that the said LinkedIn account is fake and had no affiliation with the NCC or Prof Danbatta.
It urged the public to be wary of any communication or connection request from the fake LinkedIn account, as it is being operated by fraudulent individuals, who may be seeking to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

“We take this opportunity to warn those behind this fake LinkedIn account that they are engaging in criminal activities, and we will not hesitate to take legal action against them if they are caught. We remain committed to protecting the public from online fraud and ensuring a safe and secure online environment,” the commission stated.
