Nairobi governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko has warned the members of the public over fake Facebook pages registered under his name.
In a post in his official Facebook page on Thursday morning, Sonko called on the public to note the purported accounts in which the imposters operating them claimed to be offering loans and motorcycles.
The vocal governor argued that some of the imposters claim to be either his personal assistants or working in his Sonko Rescue Team organization.
He asserted that the unidentified individuals would contact the unsuspecting victims through calls and messaging in order to trick them into paying a certain facilitation fee so that an issued asset such as a motorbike, logbook, cash loans and house rent fees are processed and dispatched.
"Beware of impersonators who are operating various fake FB pages bearing my names. Some of them pretend to be my PAs or Sonko Rescue team managers normally call or inbox unsuspecting members of the public to sweet talk them to Mpesa some facilitation fees either for loan, house rent, logbook or transfer of motorbikes/vehicles processing," noted Sonko.
Sonko informed the public that he had an official Facebook account which had been verified and had almost two million followers.He refuted claims that he was offering assistance to the public in the form of cash loans and assets.
