The court has clarified that it did not send any email requesting the presence or legal representation of any individual or corporate entity in relation to this purported contract.
According to the court, an email was sent from its official email address to foreign nationals, with the sender impersonating the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Sulaiman Amida Hassan Esq. The email asked the prospective contractor, Diego Fraga of Discovery Group Latam SAS, to either come to Nigeria or have their legal representative sign a contract attestation at the Federal High Court in Nigeria.
The Federal High Court of Nigeria has strongly urged the public, both within the country and abroad, to disregard this baseless contract and to report any suspicious activity or questionable communication allegedly from the court to the relevant authorities, including law enforcement agencies or the court’s official contact channels.
The court has provided the following contact information for reporting such incidents:
– Email: info@fhc.gov.ng, fhc.informationdepartment@gmail.com
– Telephone: +234 8033883107, +234 8066267618
The Federal High Court of Nigeria has also warned that individuals who choose to proceed with any interaction or transaction related to this fraudulent contract, despite being alerted to the potential risks, do so entirely at their own discretion and liability. The court will not be held responsible for any consequences resulting from such voluntary actions.
The court has expressed its appreciation for the public’s vigilance and cooperation in maintaining a secure environment and safe cyberspace for all.
