FINDINGS

Findings conducted by SHO PEN ONLINE showed that Saliu Mustapha’s media office has disregarded owing an online financial grant scheme for the disbursement of Ramadan Package to Kwarans. 

In a statement, Saliu Mustapha’s media office said that the alleged scheme labelled “N10,000 Sen. Soliu Mustapha Ramadan Gift” is operated by unknown fraudsters who could not even spell the candidate’s name correctly.

The statement urged the public to disregard any communication that did not originate from any of the official social media account and to avoid participating in any online scheme intended to defraud innocent citizens.

In additional findings, a click on the link will take the users to a website in which they will be asked to fill in personal details and then apply. A click on the ‘apply’ function will ask for bank details. 

VERDICT 

The claim that Saliu Mustapha is giving out N10,000 funds as ramadan gift is False.
