In a statement on Saturday, the corps said its attention has been drawn to the fake social media account which is using the name of Bisi Kazeem, its public education officer, to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

Kazeem warned the public to desist from patronising “such fraudsters”, saying the corps “does not engage in recruiting through any of its staff’s social media account”.
