”I urge the public to ignore messages soliciting for cash from a number through text messages and WhatsApp that is associated with my cell phone number,” Governor Nyaribo claimed.

The governor also noted that he had reported the matter to the police and investigations were ongoing.

“The National Police Service is currently investigating a case of sim swapping/cloning. Please let’s stand advised accordingly,”
