Nigeria's National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) has issued a public warning about fraudsters impersonating Commissioner for Insurance Olusegun Ayo Omosehin through fake social media accounts, messaging apps and other online platforms. The fraudsters falsely offer contracts, employment, approvals and other benefits while seeking payments through personal accounts or unofficial channels.
NAICOM does not conduct official business, award contracts, offer employment or request payments through personal social media accounts, private messaging platforms or informal channels. No person is authorized to collect funds on behalf of the commissioner or the commission for any official purpose. Members of the public are advised to disregard and report communications, solicitations or requests from unofficial sources claiming to represent either.
