Minister John Enoh’s WhatsApp Hacked, Public Warned to Stay Alert
The WhatsApp number belonging to Nigeria’s Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Enoh, has reportedly been compromised by hackers.
This alarming development was revealed in an official statement released by his spokesperson, Diana-Mary Nsan, on Monday.
In the statement, Nsan called for immediate caution, advising Nigerians to be wary of any messages received from the hacked number.
She warned that any communication from the compromised account should be ignored, as it does not originate from the minister himself.
“Good day Ladies and Gentlemen,” the statement began, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
“It is of great importance that I bring to your notice that the WhatsApp number of the Honourable Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, has been hacked.”
The statement went on to stress that any messages or requests made through the hacked number should be treated with suspicion, noting that the individual behind the messages is not the Minister of Sports Development.
This move is meant to protect the public from possible scams or misleading information that could arise from the compromised account.
Nsan reassured the public that steps are being taken to resolve the situation and secure the minister’s digital communications.
“The situation will be arrested. Do accept our assurances and best regards,” she concluded.
Senator John Enoh, who was appointed as the Minister of Sports Development by President Bola Tinubu in August 2023, has been a prominent figure in national sports matters.
His office is expected to take swift action to recover the hacked account and prevent further unauthorized use.
This incident highlights the growing concerns around cybersecurity, especially for high-profile individuals who are often targeted for malicious activities.
As the government addresses this breach, citizens are urged to remain vigilant and avoid engaging with suspicious messages that might be linked to this or similar incidents.
