The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), has alerted members of the university community and the general public to the activities of fraudsters operating fake Facebook accounts in the name of its Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Simon Uchenna Ortuanya.

In a public disclaimer, the university said the fraudulent accounts are using the Vice-Chancellor's name, photograph, and other personal details to impersonate him and deceive unsuspecting members of the public.
