The management of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has alerted Nigerians about the latest antics of scammers, using fictitious social media accounts to defraud unsuspecting citizens.
The university stated that the accounts were created in the name of the UNILORIN Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Egbewole.
The university raised the alarm in a statement issued by the Director of Corporate Affairs Department, Kunle Akogun, on Sunday, July 16, 2023.
Akogun noted that the scammers’ sole aim “is to con the public into parting with their hard-earned money”.

He added: “These rogues use fake social media platforms, like WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Messenger to make all sorts of demands from members of the public in the name of the Vice-Chancellor.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Prof. Egbewole does not operate on any of those social media platforms.
“Members of the public should, therefore, be wary of the antics of these unscrupulous elements and be adequately guided not to fall for their pranks.”
