In a statement in Abuja, Tuesday, its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the call has become necessary because the scammers have persisted in their fraudulent ways, despite previous warnings by the party for them to desist.
”These ‘419ners’ have a telephone number, 08107400745, an email address (apcscreeningcommittee@gmail.com) and a front (Dr. Favour Idiodie), who is supposedly the Screening Committee Secretary. It should therefore not be difficult for the security agencies, working with the service providers, to fish them out and to make them face the
full wrath of the law,” it said.
APC repeated its earlier warning, contained in a statement it issued on April 21st 2015, to Nigerians to beware of such fraudulent claims, saying the party has not set up any committee to which Nigerians should submit their CVs for screening and possible federal appointments.
”As we wrote in our earlier statement, even when it is obvious that those behind this appointment scam are merely seeking to swindle innocent Nigerians, some desperate and gullible persons may still fall prey to their evil machinations, hence we have decided to once again alert Nigerians,” the party said.
It said any information concerning appointments into federal posts will be duly communicated to Nigerians at the appropriate time through the usual communication channels.
