I Princess Nkechinyere Iyioku, the SSA to the Ebonyi State Governor, Office of Her Excellency wish to inform the people of Ugwulangwu, the good people of Ohaozara and Ebonyi State in general that I am not organizing any empowerment program for now. Pls this information serves as a disclaimer to a text massage being circulated by some fraudulent elements in a bid to extort and defraud unsuspecting members of the public of their money.
Part of the text massages being circulated by the fraudulent elements reads thus: "Nwinya ogonnaya congratulation to you, you are among the winner that won #150.000 and one new motorcycle so how are you going to get it order from above HON. Princess nkechinyere iyioku, (sign)youth empowerment scheme at igwebuike polling unit".
The Former ALGON Chairman noted that those carrying such activities are those who want to demarket her reputation which she has built over the years and commended the people of the state for not falling victims to the activities of the fraudulent elements.
Princess Iyioku called on the security agencies and other relevant authorities to fish out the perpetrators of the criminal act and prosecute them to serve as deterrent to others who might want to engage in such an act using her name
