Minister of State for Finance Distances Self from Fraudulent Website

JOEL OLADELE, Abuja

The Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, has officially distanced herself from a fraudulent website, lankantamil.com, which is misusing her name, image, and identity to mislead the public.

The disclaimer regarding this issue was signed on Thursday by the Director of Information and Public Relations at the Ministry of Finance, Mohammed Manga.

According to Manga, this alarming development has raised concerns about digital impersonation and the potential for misinformation.

In the statement, it was made clear that Dr. Uzoka-Anite has no affiliation with the fraudulent website or any content being circulated in her name through that platform.

The ministry emphasized that the materials found on the site are entirely unauthorized and intended to deceive the public.

“This is a case of digital impersonation and fraud, and the matter has already been reported to the appropriate law enforcement and cybersecurity authorities for investigation and takedown action,” Manga stated.

He therefore urged members of the public to disregard any information, videos, or links associated with the fraudulent website.

“Avoid clicking on or sharing the fraudulent content; Report such activity immediately to digital platforms or relevant agencies.

“The Honourable Minister remains committed to transparent public service and official communication through verifiable and authorised channels only,” he emphasized.
