The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) said that hackers have taken over its chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa’s, Twitter account since Friday, April 7.

NIDCOM stated this in a statement signed by Dabiri-Erewa on Wednesday, saying that all communication from her on social media has been through her Instagram account @abikedabiri.

The commission said efforts to retrieve the hacked Twitter account have been prolonged by the management of Twitter, who said they are rebranding.

It added that efforts are ongoing to ensure the hacked Twitter account is retrieved and the hackers are traced, arrested, and prosecuted accordingly.

NIDCOM, however, urged the general public to beware, in particular, of direct messages, as anyone engaging through the Twitter account is communicating with fraudulent people.

“For the meantime, kindly disregard any messages or posts from the handle and also beware of any interaction with the said account for now until further notice, as Hon. Dr. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, OON, has had no access to her account since 7th April, 2023,” NiDCOM said.
