Social media represents different things to different people. For some, it is a civic space to exercise freedom of expression, while for others, it is the best place for networking, connecting with colleagues on the other side and socialising with friends.
However, for some individuals, social media is a platform to engage in illicit transactions, including posing as reps of different Nigerian banks to defraud customers desperately in need of assistants.
Mbeka Tony, a Rivers State resident, fell into the hands of one of them, who had posed to be a representative of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) on Facebook.
