Former Vice President and Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, has denied opening a Koo social media account.
He said the Koo account currently in circulation as belonging to him is an impersonation.
In a press statement his Media Adviser Paul Ibe, the Former Vice President called the public’s attention to the fake handles on Koo App, adding it is impersonating the former Vice President.
“We are compelled to make this alert because information and details on the fake Koo accounts have been lifted from other social media platforms where Atiku Abubakar holds verified handles. And this may cause unsuspecting members of the public to be misled into wrongly mistaking postings on these fake accounts as being authoritatively that of the Waziri of Adamawa.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Atiku Abubakar is not on the Koo social media platform, and the public should discountenance these fake handles.
“All Atiku Abubakar’s social media handles are verified and have been running for a couple of years”, he said
The former Vice President urges the public not to be misled by the antics of criminal elements who impersonate by creating fake social media handles, especially as it relates to Atiku Abubakar.
He also call on law enforcement agencies to thoroughly investigate this criminal activity and bring the culprit(s) to book.
