NSSF purported that the fraudsters are selling plots within their properties to unsuspecting members of the public.
“This is to inform the general public that the NSSF has not authorized or engaged anyone to sell the properties on its behalf and the plots are not for sale,” the notice read.
The pension agency clearly outlined that the land mentioned is not for sale, urging members of the public to be wary.
According to the notice, members of the public should report any person claiming to be part of the NSSF team or purporting to sell off the pieces of land. It went further ahead and gave a link for any member to fill their returns
