🚨 PUBLIC WARNING: BEWARE OF ALLEGED POLITICAL "EMPOWERMENT" SCHEME IN KOGI CENTRAL! 🚨
There are reports of a group moving around Kogi Central under the guise of “empowerment”, allegedly collecting sensitive information such as PVC details, NIN and bank account numbers from unsuspecting members of the public.
It is also being alleged that the group may be working for a particular political party. This allegation should be treated seriously and independently verified before anyone submits personal information or participates in the exercise.
Let me be very clear: DO NOT SURRENDER YOUR PVC, NIN OR BANKING INFORMATION TO ANYONE SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY PROMISE YOU EMPOWERMENT.
Your PVC represents your civic power and democratic right. Do not allow anyone to use financial inducement to influence, manipulate or compromise that right.
Also, never disclose your ATM PIN, OTP, password, BVN, card details or other banking security credentials to anyone. These are extremely sensitive and must remain private.
If any empowerment programme is genuine, the organisers should be able to clearly state who they are, the legitimate purpose, how your personal data will be handled, and what safeguards are in place.
This is bigger than party politics. It is about protecting our people from possible exploitation, identity theft, financial fraud and electoral manipulation.
Please do not wait until someone becomes a victim before we act. Educate your parents, relatives, friends, neighbours and loved ones -- especially those who are not active on social media.
BE VIGILANT. PROTECT YOUR DATA. PROTECT YOUR PVC. PROTECT YOUR CIVIC RIGHTS.
Please share widely. One person informed today could save another person from becoming a victim tomorrow.
