"In the last three months, several telephone numbers including +2347032586076, Whatsapp accounts, social media profiles have been used to contact members of the public claiming to belong to the Director General, Mallam lanre Issa-Onilu."

"The Agency wishes to clarify that operations of the Agency are not conducted on the social media and therefore it is not the channel for the official notification of the directive of the Director General." Odenyi stated.
