In response to circulating claims, the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, has denied reports suggesting that its X account was hacked. Dele Oyewale, the commission’s spokesperson, provided this clarification exclusively to NewsNow on Thursday.
Social media speculation had alleged that hackers compromised the official X account of the anti-graft agency. However, Oyewale dismissed these allegations as false.
He emphasized that the EFCC is currently enhancing the X account to align with global standards, refuting any hacking incidents. Oyewale stated, “It is untrue that our X account was hacked. The Commission’s X account is undergoing an upgrade to meet global standards. Its upgrade is on the commission’s authorization. There is nothing like hacking,” during the NewsNow interview.
