Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar denied having Koo social media account saying the one in circulation is an impersonation.
A release from Media Adviser to former Vice President, Paul Ibe calls of the public to ignore the fake account,
“We are compelled to make this alert because information and details on the fake Koo account has been lifted from other social media platforms where Atiku Abubakar holds verified handles, as this may cause unsuspecting members of the public to be misled into wrongly mistaking postings on the fake account as being authoritatively that of the Waziri of Adamaw,” Ibe said in the release..
He added: “For the avoidance of doubt, Atiku Abubakar is not on the Koo social media platform and this fake handle should be discountenanced by the public.
“All Atiku Abubakar’s social media handles are verified and have been running for a couple of years.
“We therefore urge the public not to be misled by the antics of criminal elements who impersonate by creating fake social media handles, especially as it relates to Atiku Abubakar.
“We also call on law enforcement agencies to thoroughly investigate this criminal activity and bring the culprit(s) to book.”
