The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has dismissed the existence of several twitter handles purportedly owned by the Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele.
According to Acting Director of Corporate Communications at CBN, Isaac Okorafor, “We wish to inform members of the public, particularly members of the social media community that Mr. Emefiele currently has no twitter handle.
“We wish to state categorically therefore, that the twitter handles bearing the name and photographs of Mr. Emefiele are fake and targeted at misleading unsuspecting members of the public.
“Accordingly, we wish to advise all members of the social media community and the general public to be wary of the fake accounts and discountenance whatever message conveyed therein.”
