…Says processing of pension benefit is free of charge
The Delta State Bureau for Pensions wish to inform the General Public, particularly unsuspecting Pensioners of the State, that the Bureau is in receipt of reports indicating that certain fraudulent individuals are placing calls to Pensioners and demanding for money from them to facilitate the payment of their pension benefits. Kindly note that such calls are not emanating from the Bureau.
Therefore, we urge all Pensioners in the State to be wary of such calls from scammers, bearing in mind that pension benefits are processed and paid without any form of demand for inducement by the Bureau.
In the event of such calls, do not provide any personal information or make any payment. Instead, forward the caller’s phone number to 07085900707 for onward transmission to the Security Agencies for investigation and necessary deterrent action.
In the same vein, persons involved in this unscrupulous act are advised to desist forthwith or be ready to face the long arm of the law.
All pensioners are equally advised to be vigilant and protect their rights!
Sir Edwin E. Ogidi-Gbegbaje (KSM)
Chairman, Delta State Bureau for Pensions.
