A statement issued yesterday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Daniel Iworiso-Markson Read: “It has come to the notice of the Government that, some persons are operating a Facebook account purportedly owned by His Excellency, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson, Governor of Bayela State and using same to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
