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.
Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia has assured that the state is ready to handle any potential flooding from the release of water from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam. After meeting with President Bola Tinubu, Alia stressed that while they hope the flood won’t happen, they are well-prepared. He noted that the state is focusing on prevention, such as river dredging, and is actively informing residents about flood risks.
The upcoming release of water from the dam has raised concerns, especially after recent severe floods in Borno State. Alia emphasized that his administration is taking proactive steps and is working with emergency teams to manage any challenges. He also defended the transparency of his local government nominations, encouraging candidates to accept the outcomes of the October 5 elections.
The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) has alerted Nigerians residing in flood-prone areas to relocate, following the release of water from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam into River Niger and River Benue.
The release, which began on September 18, 2024, poses flood risks to 11 states, including Adamawa, Kogi, Benue, and Bayelsa.
NIHSA urges individuals to clear drainages and avoid floodplains. This comes days after severe flooding in Borno killed over 30 people.
Israel admitted to initiating a “new era” of war after two consecutive days of explosive attacks targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon.
On Tuesday, pager explosions killed several, including children, and wounded over 2,800. A second wave on Wednesday, involving walkie-talkies and phones, killed at least 20 and injured 450.
One explosion occurred during a Hezbollah funeral, with reports suggesting Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit was heavily impacted. Israel believes the death toll is higher than officially reported.
