“It has come to my knowledge that an unscrupulous individual (lady) has been parading herself as my wife to innocent/unsuspecting members of the public and pledging my credit to collect valuables from innocent members of the public.
“The general public is hereby warned that my marital status remains unchanged in line with my official records and no lady or woman has my consent or is so authorised to pledge my credit or collect any goods on my behalf.
“I will not accept liability for such transactions.”
Dear sir, Mr. Deputy Governor of The State Osun, Honorable Benedict Alabi. Peace to you, sir.
I read with shock and dismay the unfortunate incidence of an unknown lady impersonating your wife and fraudulently obtaining credit in your name. That indeed is very sad and I offer my sympathy for your plight.
Mr. Deputy Governor, sir, I have a question or two to ask in regards to the incident.
1. Has the incident been reported and referred to the law enforcement authorities for proper investigation and prosecution of the culprit?
2. Was the case referred to the authorities prior to or subsequent to your public alert?
I join you in hoping that the errant fraudster be apprehended expeditiously and properly prosecuted so as to allow you face the affairs of our dear state without distraction. I also assure you of my constant prayers and support.
Sincerely. I am Adewale Adewumi.
