\n
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has alerted the public over a fake e-Naira twitter handle.<\/div>\n
\n
\nThis is coming barely two days after launching its digital currency, the e-Naira.<\/p>\n

The Director, Corporate Communications, Mr.\u00a0 Osita Nwanisobi, said in a press statement this on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the CBN attributed the fake e-Naira handle to the activities of criminals and warned the Nigerian public to guide against falling prey to the antics of such people.<\/p>\n

It said the fraudsters have been using the twitter handle, (@e-Naira_cbdc), purported to belong to the CBN, to send messages relating to the digital currency in order to woo unsuspecting victims.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nwanisobi said that the said twitter handle did not belong to the CBN and that the apex bank, indeed had no twitter handle, having suspended its presence there, following the federal government ban on twitter.<\/p>\n
