The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has denied a Twitter account fraudulently posing as the commission.
The commission also warned the public against giving their personal information to “fraudsters using fake accounts.”
The disclaimer came against the backdrop of increasing engagements with the parody account over the National Identity Numbers (NIN) linkage with SIM cards.
