De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI), under the leadership of its International President, Chief Oliver Patrick, has issued a strong warning to the general public, security agencies, and key stakeholders over the increasing wave of fraudulent social media activities falsely linked to the organization.

The group in a statement signed by DNKI International Publicity, Mr. Anugom Darlingtonon Tuesday in Abuja, revealed that faceless individuals and coordinated networks are impersonating DNKI online, misrepresenting its identity, and spreading false narratives capable of threatening public peace and national security.

“Pattern of Criminal MisinformationAccording to DNKI, findings from internal investigations point to a deliberate and organized campaign aimed at damaging its reputation through several unlawful actions, including: Identity Theft and Brand Manipulation: Unauthorized use and distortion of DNKI’s registered name, logo, and insignia to falsely associate the organization with cultism and other criminal activities, while ignoring its longstanding humanitarian contributions.

“Deception and Youth Manipulation: Efforts to mislead young people into believing that criminal or cult-related activities are part of humanitarian service—an assertion DNKI firmly rejects.

“False Security Narratives: Circulation of fabricated crime reports intended to create fear, misinform the public, and weaken confidence in Nigeria’s security institutions.Incitement and Digital Provocation: Promotion of online tensions through inflammatory content, false claims, and staged narratives designed to trigger real-world unrest and violence.

While giving Organization Clear Position on Cultiism, DNKI categorically distanced itself from any form of cultism or illegal association, stressing that it operates under strict guidelines. The organization noted that its membership requirements include a minimum of Higher National Diploma (HND) or Bachelor’s Degree, alongside verifiable means of livelihood, underscoring its commitment to professionalism and discipline.

Registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC Reg: TC 7458), DNKI described itself as a reputable humanitarian organization with a presence in over 56 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, China, and Germany. The group reaffirmed its dedication to social causes such as combating drug abuse, addressing gender inequality, and promoting environmental sustainability.

However, the organization warned that it will not tolerate acts of impersonation, defamation, or reputational damage. It disclosed ongoing collaboration with relevant security agencies to identify and prosecute those responsible for:Impersonation and identity theftCyberstalking and defamationPromotion of cultism and incitement to violence.

DNKI advised all perpetrators to immediately cease such activities or face full legal consequences.

Members of the public are urged to remain vigilant, ignore unverified platforms, and refrain from engaging with misleading content. DNKI emphasized that only its official communication channels should be trusted for accurate information.

The DNKI therfore reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to humanitarian service, justice, and societal development, stating that no amount of misinformation or malicious propaganda will deter it from its mission to build a safer and more equitable society.

The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has reaffirmed the commitment of the Federal Ministry of Works to transparency and accountability, declaring that all its projects are open to public and institutional scrutiny amid growing criticisms and protests.

Speaking on Wednesday in Abuja at the ministry’s headquarters in Mabushi, Abuja, the minister disclosed that key anti-corruption agencies have been formally invited to independently assess the ministry’s operations.

Umahi revealed that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has already concluded part of its investigation, while the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is expected to begin its review after an ongoing summit.

“We are not hiding anything because we feel for the people. Any file they want, any information, is available. That is how it should be,” Umahi stated.
He maintained that all ministry projects strictly follow due process, involving the appropriate officials and contractors, with full accountability for every expenditure.
According to him, the ministry is prepared to defend all its actions.
“There is nothing we do in the Ministry of Works that we cannot defend,” he added.
Addressing concerns over the ministry’s transition from asphalt to concrete road construction, Umahi said the policy—though initially met with resistance—was introduced to enhance durability and long-term value.

“We fought a battle to move from asphalt to concrete, but most of the roads we are building now will last up to 100 years with little or no maintenance,” he explained.

The minister also underscored the critical role of infrastructure in national development, noting that poor road conditions severely restrict mobility and economic activity.
“When a road is cut into two, it amounts to people being in prison because they cannot move from one point to another,” he said.

Umahi further urged journalists to uphold professionalism by prioritising accuracy and verification in their reportage, cautioning against the spread of unverified information.

“Do not escalate what you are not sure of. What you show is what you will defend,” he warned.

Despite ongoing criticisms, the minister assured Nigerians that the ministry remains focused on delivering impactful infrastructure projects aimed at improving livelihoods and boosting economic growth across the country.
