Ghana’s Vice President impersonated on Facebook
By Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot

Accra, Sept 4, Ghanadot - The Vice President of Ghana, John Mahama, has vehemently disassociated himself from a purported e-mail address registered in his name on a popular social network “Facebook”.

A statement issued by the Vice-President’s office in Accra and signed by John Abdulai Jinapor, his spokesperson, stated “categorically that H.E Mr. Mahama is not a registered member on Facebook and for that matter on any other social website.”

The statement “strongly advised” persons behind this act of impersonation to desist from engaging in such criminal activities.

“These are clearly activities of unscrupulous people illegally using images of the Vice-President designed to defraud unsuspecting web users,” the statement remarked.

It further noted that the office of the Vice-President's attention has been drawn to the activities of some impersonators who are using his name and the office to defraud innocent Ghanaians "by stating that they work in the offices of the Vice-President".

The statement warned: “We are monitoring those offenders and want to assure the general public that the needed steps are being taken to nip the activities of those saboteurs in the bud.
“We therefore wish to advice Internet users and members of the general public to cross check with the office when dealing with such suspicious people and not allow themselves to fall into their trap.”


Members of the public who might have fallen prey to these nefarious activities have been asked to report such perpetrators to the office of the Vice-President for appropriate actions to be taken, the statement cautioned.
