Dunnex Samuel, in a broadcast, said, "my attention has been brought to the fraudulent activity of an unknown element who is impersonating my identity to request financial help from people."
"I got an alert on Friday from a student who would have fallen victim of his antics. He claimed to be Dunnex and he was stranded at an undisclosed location so he needed financial aid. Fortunately, the student was able to call me before sending the money to him."
OAU Kilonshele can confirm that eight people have been victims of this antics as at the time of writing this report - 4 of which have been confirmed as executives of TESA, the students' body of faculty of Technology, OAU.
