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.
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.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
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.”
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
