The Presidency, Wednesday, alerted the public that it discovered that some social media accounts are being run in the name of the President’s son, Yusuf Buhari.

A release by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the President, stated that “the most recent is an Instagram account @ymbuhari, which has attracted thousands of followers, and which has been used to express opinions in Yusuf’s name without his knowledge.”

The Special Adviser, therefore, rubbished the said account and declared that “Yusuf Muhammadu Buhari is not on any social media platform,” and advised the public to disregard such handles and pages. He also warned the tricksters behind the fake handles to close shop as their act was tantamount to impersonation.

Adesina gave the same advice to fraudsters running other pages and handles impersonating other members of the First Family.
