NUPRC Warns Public of Fake Social Media Accounts Impersonating CEO

The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has issued a cautionary statement regarding the proliferation of fake social media accounts impersonating its Chief Executive, Gbenga Komolafe. The commission advised the public to be wary of such accounts on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, emphasizing that Komolafe has no official social media presence.

Eniola Akinkuotu, the head of media strategy and communication at NUPRC, urged individuals to rely on the commission's official social media handles and website for authentic information to avoid falling victim to fraudsters. The warning aims to prevent individuals from being defrauded by impostors posing as NUPRC officials.
