Prof Itse Sagay
Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN) has disowned some fraudulent emails being sent in his name to defraud Nigerians.
The Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption in a statement on Friday, urged Nigerians to disregard the email profitsesagay001@gmail.com.
The statement read in part, “Please find attached below a ‘419’ e-mail by which a fraudster is attempting to use my name to scam money from innocent but gullible Nigerians.
“Although the clear illiteracy of the scammer should reveal to anyone that I am not the author of the letter, I still feel that Nigerians should be made aware that the e-mail is from a criminal who intends to deprive them of their hard earned money.”
In the scam email, Sagay is quoted of telling contractors that he is in charge of probing government contracts and asking contractors to write him in order to get their money.
