Contrary to news making the rounds that the National Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, Nigeria, is crediting personal accounts of citizens with funds, tagged “relief funds”, the Centre has in a widely circulated message said it is not and does not immediatel plan to do so.
The notice reads: “Any informationion on relief funds being shared by NCDC for the lockdown is FALSE. Please Take Responsibility by verifying information before sharing.”
This notice, for a broad spectrum of Nigerians, warns that people should equally guard against fraudsters who may have designed this message for the sole purpose of defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.
