The news concern the relief fund by the Dangote Companies has be debunked and confirm fake by the company who through their Facebook page “Dangote Industries” has revealed that the company has in no way provided weekly relief funds in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the Society.Dangote Industries post on her Facebook page states:
“We have been alerted of a scam purportedly sanctioned by Aliko Dangote Foundation and claiming to pay people a weekly allowance of N20,000. This malicious act aimed at defrauding unsuspecting victims is currently being perpetuated through several channels including WhatsApp, emails, sms, and dedicated website.”
Please be aware that there is NO such initiative as the “Dangote Covid-19 Relief Funds.” Our support towards curbing the spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria is through the organized private sector Coalition Against COVID-19 (CACOVID) in Nigeria; an initiative being led by our Group President/CE.
While we work towards shutting down the activities and accounts of these scammers, please be advised to contact law enforcement agencies in case you have made any contact with these scammers.
Remember, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is not true!
