The Facebook page JOSEPH AMYOT PADJAN, which I created on 17 March 2015, and which currently has 211,000 followers, was hijacked from me by a thief in Pakistan in June 2024. I no longer have any control over the content of that page at all. The thief is pretending to be me. If you follow that page, I recommend that you unfollow it.
