The Ogun State Police Command has raised the alarm over a viral fake compiled list of suspected internet fraudsters in circulation.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.

Oyeyemi denied that the viral list circulating on social media emanated from the state Police Command.

The list had 31 persons purportedly drawn from Sagamu, Ago-Iwoye, Ijebu, and Abeokuta, and signed by one Assistant Commissioner of Police, Yahya Wakilu.

The PPRO said the command suspected that the fake list might have been used to extort the public, hence, the need to alert the public that the list did not emanate from the command.

He said the command has no Assistant Commissioner of police with the name Yahaya Wakilu that signed the fake list.
