The Management of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) has issued an official disclaimer disowning a fraudulent engagement letter currently circulating to the public regarding the council’s advertisement revenue unit.
The Council management urged business owners, corporate organizations, and residents within the municipality to completely disregard the document, labeling it a total forgery designed to mislead taxpayers.
According to the statement from AMAC Management, the fake letter purportedly dated 26th April 2026—claims that a new technical partner, M/S Brainshelter Ltd, has been engaged to handle the collection of revenue for Signpost and Outdoor Advertisements.
”The Management of the Council hereby disclaims this letter entirely.
The general public should disregard the document and refuse any engagements with individuals parading themselves as officials based on this forged letter,” the statement read.
M/S Takushara Enterprise Ltd Contract Remains Fully Valid
Setting the record straight, AMAC Management emphasized that the area council, operating as an organized and law-abiding government body, would not double-engage partners over the exact same revenue jurisdiction.
The Management clarified that its existing contract with M/S Takushara Enterprise Ltd to aid the council on revenue collection for Mobile Advert and signpost revenue is active, fully recognized, and remains completely valid until the end of the 2026 revenue year.
Taxpayers are advised that all legitimate transactions concerning Outdoor and signpost should continue to be channeled exclusively through the authorized framework involving M/S Takushara Enterprise Ltd.
AMAC Management issued a strict warning to the business community, advertising agencies, and individuals operating within the federal capital city to protect their data and finances:
Do not share any official databases or corporate information with agents of M/S Brainshelter Ltd.
Do not make any financial payments based on the fraudulent April 26 letter.
All legitimate council revenues must strictly go through authorized single treasury accounts and verified official channels.
The Management further confirmed that an internal probe is already active to unravel the source of the scam.
“We have commenced a full investigation to determine how this kind of fraudulent publication got into circulation to the public without the knowledge or authorization of the Council,” the statement noted.
Concluding the release with a seasonal goodwill message to the residents of the municipality, the Management added, “Barka da Sallah in advance.”
