EFCC’s Twitter Account Goes Down During Cyber Threats
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has lost access to its official X (formerly Twitter) account, @officialEFCC, which boasted 2.2 million followers. For the past three days, the account has been showing a message that reads, “This account doesn’t exist.”
Dele Oyewale, the EFCC’s chief spokesman, confirmed the issue, attributing it to a network problem. He stated that the agency’s ICT department is working diligently to restore the account.
This incident follows recent threats from a group of suspected internet fraudsters who vowed to launch a cyber attack against the EFCC.
The threats, posted on platforms such as Reddit, were in response to the agency’s intensified efforts to combat online fraud, which the fraudsters claim is unconstitutional.
The EFCC has been under scrutiny for its aggressive tactics, including raids on hotels and university dormitories, which critics argue infringe on citizens’ rights.
The cause of the account’s disappearance remains uncertain, with possibilities including a targeted cyber attack, a sanction by X, or deactivation by the EFCC. The agency’s other social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram remain unaffected.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
