The Kano State Hospitals Management Board has warned the public about fake donation requests circulating on social media.
These messages ask people to send money for the installation of an X-ray machine at Dambatta General Hospital.
In a statement on Tuesday, the board’s Public Relations Officer, Samira Suleiman, said the board is not connected to any such fundraising efforts.
She explained that the messages include a phone number and bank account details, but these are false.
“A philanthropist did promise to donate an X-ray machine worth N6.9 million to the hospital, but the machine has not arrived yet,” Suleiman said.
“No hospital staff or management member has seen the machine. We only have a receipt.”
She urged people to be careful and not to send money to anyone asking for donations linked to the X-ray machine.
“The hospital and the management board are not behind these requests. We ask everyone to be alert and avoid falling victim to fraud,” Suleiman added.
