The Ogun State Government has discredited a fraudulent notice circulating on social media, claiming that the Bureau of State Pension is conducting a screening exercise for the next-of-kin of deceased pensioners.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Bureau’s Permanent Secretary, Arinola Adetayo, described the notice as unauthorized and misleading.<\/p>\n
She clarified that the government follows a formal, established process for handling pension claims and disbursing benefits, which does not involve any screening by unknown individuals or third parties.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe notice circulating on social media does not originate from any government office, department, or Bureau of State Pensions personnel,\u201d Adetayo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Bureau is not associated with, nor endorses, the request made in the notice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adetayo urged the public to disregard the fake notice and refrain from sharing personal information or documents in response to unauthorized requests.<\/p>\n
She also advised anyone who had encountered the notice to contact the Bureau directly for clarification.<\/p>\n
The government reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a transparent and secure process for pension claims and urged citizens to remain vigilant against scams or false information targeting vulnerable individuals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
