The Military Pensions Board has warned pensioners and the public about a fraudulent WhatsApp group that falsely uses its name. In a statement released on Monday in Abuja, the Board’s Public Relations Officer, Aliyu Mohammed, clarified that the group does not represent the Board’s position and was created by unknown individuals. He emphasized that the Military Pensions Board has never established a WhatsApp group for pensioners or veterans, and that anyone circulating such a platform is acting fraudulently.
The Board’s official communication channels are its social media handles, press releases, and formal statements. Pensioners are urged to verify any information through these official contacts whenever they have doubts. Mohammed reassured pensioners that their welfare remains a top priority and that the Board is committed to meeting their needs.
Fake social‑media groups pose a risk by potentially misleading pensioners into sharing personal or financial information. The Board’s warning serves as a reminder to exercise caution when engaging with online platforms that claim to represent official organizations. Trust in the information provided by the Military Pensions Board is essential, given its critical role in managing military pensions.
By alerting the public to fraudulent WhatsApp groups, the Board is taking steps to protect its stakeholders and prevent scams. Pensioners should remain vigilant and interact only with the Board’s official communication channels to ensure their safety and security. This commitment to combating fraudulent activities helps maintain trust and confidence among pensioners as the Board continues its work in effective pension management.
