The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said a linked account being attributed to its Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Professor Umar Danbatta, is fake.

A statement issued by the Director, Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka said the linked account has no affiliation with the NCC or Professor Danbatta.

The commission therefore urged the public to be wary of any communication or connection request from this fake account, as it is being operated by fraudulent individuals, who may be seeking to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
