Senator representing Oyo South senatorial district in the National Assembly, Sharafadeen Alli, has advised members of the public to report anyone demanding money from them on his behalf to the security agencies.
Alli gave the advice in a statement made available to newsmen through his Special Adviser on Media, Akeem Abas.
Alli in the statement issued on Tuesday said his attention has been drawn to activities of some individuals who are demanding money from members of the public under the false pretence of providing benefits from his programmes.
The lawmaker in the statement maintained that he has never and will never ask for cash or any form of financial inducement in exchange for accessing the benefits of his programs.
He then advised members of the public to report such individuals to the appropriate authorities, insisting that anyone making such demands is a fraudster and does not represent his interest.
He enjoined members of the public to immediately report any individual who makes such demands to the appropriate security agencies.
“Senator Sharafadeen Alli, the representative of Oyo South Senatorial District, wishes to bring to the attention of the public the presence of fraudulent individuals who are soliciting money under the false pretence of providing benefits from his programs.
