The leadership of the Pantamiyya Movement has distanced itself from a group operating under the name “Pantamiyya Movement Brotherhood,” describing its activities as fraudulent and unauthorised.
In a statement issued on Friday and signed by Professor Suleiman Muhammad on behalf of the Movement, the group said it had not authorised, approved, or recognised any association bearing the name “Pantamiyya Movement Brotherhood.”
The Movement warned members of the public against dealing with individuals or groups claiming to represent it through the alleged organisation.
According to the statement, those operating under the name were not affiliated with the Pantamiyya Movement and should be regarded as impostors.
“The leadership of the Pantamiyya Movement hereby states for the record that no group, association, or entity operating under the name ‘Pantamiyya Movement Brotherhood’ has been authorised, approved, or recognised by us,” the statement read.
It added that any claims, endorsements, or activities carried out in the name of the Movement by the group were fraudulent.
“These are the actions of unauthorised individuals, commonly known as 419ers, who have no affiliation with our Movement,” it stated.
The Movement stressed that the so-called “Pantamiyya Movement Brotherhood” does not represent its ideals, activities, or official position.
It also cautioned the public against responding to any form of solicitation, endorsement, or representation allegedly made on behalf of the Movement by the group.
The organisation further called on security agencies to investigate the activities of those behind the group to prevent them from using the name of the Movement to perpetrate criminal acts.
“We also advised security institution to investigate them so as not to commit any crime using the movement,” the statement added.
The Pantamiyya Movement urged the public to rely only on statements and communications issued through its recognised official channels for authentic information about its activities and positions.
