The administration of the Ghana Prisons Service has drawn the attention of the general public to fake Facebook accounts that impersonate its Director-General, Mrs. Patience Baffoe-Bonnie (ESQ.).

In a statement dated May 14, the Service noted that these fake Facebook accounts have pictures of the Director-General in uniform suspected to facilitate nefarious activities.

"The general public is hereby cautioned against accepting friend request, postings and any message from said accounts intended to facilitate activities of some unscrupulous individuals," a part of the statement read.

The public is urged to remain vigilant and desist from engaging with such accounts on inquiries and recruitment into the Ghana Prisons Service to prevent them from becoming victims.

All complaints and suspicious Facebook accounts impersonating the Director-General should be reported at the Prisons Headquarters for immediate action.
