Ondo Agency's Fasipe Alerts Public on FCCPC Impersonation

The Ondo State Competition and Consumer Protection Agency (ODCCPA) issued a warning against non-governmental organizations allegedly impersonating officials of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) to extort traders and seal business premises in Ondo State. Executive Chairman Oluyemi Fasipe made this announcement via a statement on his X handle, following reports of NGOs demanding payments under the pretense of “FCCPC registration” and “consumer protection levy.” Fasipe emphasized that only authorized FCCPC officials with valid identification are permitted to conduct official activities.

He stated that impersonation and unlawful collection of money would result in referral to law enforcement for investigation and prosecution. Fasipe urged the public, including traders and market leaders, to report any suspicious claims to the ODCCPA or local police.

He provided a contact number for complaints and assured that legitimate operations involving the ODCCPA and FCCPC would be coordinated and communicated through official channels.
