The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has disowned several twitter handles purportedly owned by the Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele.

A statement issued on Tuesday by CBN Acting Director, Corporate Communications, Isaac Okoroafor stated that Emefiele currently has no twitter handle.

“We wish to state categorically therefore that the twitter handles bearing the name and photographs of Mr. Emefiele are fake and targeted at misleading unsuspecting members of the public.

“Accordingly, we wish to advise all members of the social media community and the general public to be wary of the fake accounts and discountenance whatever message conveyed therein,” the statement read.
