The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Nigeria has alerted the public about ongoing fraud attempts targeting investors and the online community.

These scammers are impersonating the Director General of the Commission, Emomotimi Agama, in an effort to deceive individuals into sharing personal information and making unauthorized payments.

SEC Nigeria Warns Public

The Commission has emphasized that neither the Director General nor any staff member will request personal information regarding investments through online platforms, phone calls, or emails. The public is urged to verify the identity of anyone claiming to be from SEC Nigeria.

Official communications from the Commission will always come from verified email addresses, the official website, social media handles, and phone numbers. SEC Nigeria advises the public to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.
