The Deputy Governor of Osun State, Olugboyega Alabi, has raised the alarm that a fraudster has been parading herself as his wife and buying goods on credit from unsuspecting members of the public.
In a disclaimer signed by him, the deputy governor warned the public against transacting business with the suspected fraudster.
He said the woman in question had been buying items on credit from people, claiming she was married to the deputy governor.
Alabi, however, warned that he would not be liable for any transaction done with the said woman, insisting that none of his family members buys goods on credit.
“It has come to my knowledge that an unscrupulous individual has been parading herself as my wife to innocent/unsuspecting members of the public and pledging my credit to collect valuables from innocent members of the public,” the public disclaimer read in part.
“The general public is hereby warned that my marital status remains unchanged in line with my official records and no lady or woman has my consent or is so authorised to pledge my credit or collect any goods on my behalf. I will not accept liability for such transactions,” it added.
