Prominent Nigerian publisher Dele Momodu has raised alarm about fraudsters impersonating Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan in an apparent scam attempt targeting high-profile individuals.
In a statement shared on social media, Momodu revealed that he received a call from someone claiming to be the Kogi Central Senator. However, the seasoned media mogul quickly identified the attempt as fraudulent and took immediate action.
“Same nuisance called me, I immediately blocked the number, and called SENATOR NATASHA on a familiar line to tell her some scammers were on the prowl. Lord have mercy,” Momodu wrote, warning others about the ongoing scheme.
The Ovation Magazine founder’s swift response demonstrates the growing sophistication of scammers who target influential Nigerians by impersonating public officials. By blocking the suspicious number and immediately contacting the real Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan through a verified channel, Momodu helped prevent potential fraud while alerting the senator to the misuse of her identity.
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central Senatorial District, is a prominent figure in Nigerian politics known for her advocacy work. The impersonation attempt highlights how scammers exploit the reputations of well-known politicians to deceive unsuspecting victims.
Security experts advise that Nigerians should verify unexpected calls from public figures through official channels before engaging or sharing sensitive information. Impersonation scams often involve requests for money transfers, personal information, or other favors that appear legitimate when seemingly coming from trusted sources.
Momodu’s public warning serves as a timely reminder for citizens to remain vigilant against such fraudulent activities. His decisive action in blocking the scammer and immediately alerting the real senator may have prevented others from falling victim to the same scheme. See, More, Here>>>
