The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has disowned a letter circulating on social media and other online platforms, purportedly issued by the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Liberia.

The ministry, in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, on Tuesday, described the document as fake, unauthorised and not issued through any official channel of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

According to the ministry, the letter falsely claimed to convey Nigeria’s position on statements attributed to a Nigerian religious leader and was allegedly addressed to Liberia’s Foreign Minister.
