The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) confirmed on Wednesday that its website had been hacked, urging the public to disregard any information published on the platform until the issue is resolved.

“This is to inform the public that the NBS Website has been hacked and we are working to recover it. Please disregard any message or report posted until the website is fully restored. Thank you,” the agency announced on X.

The hack occurred less than 24 hours after the NBS released a report revealing that Nigerians paid N2.23 trillion as ransom between May 2023 and April 2024.

The report also disclosed 51.89 million crime incidents nationwide during the same period, with the North-West recording the highest cases and the South-East the least.

The agency assured Nigerians that efforts are underway to secure and restore the website.

Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.

He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.

The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
