The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has announced that its official X (formerly Twitter) account has been compromised and placed under the unauthorised control of an individual or account operating as @ephesus_lib.
The Commission, in a statement on Thursday signed by its Director of Corporate Affairs and External Linkages, Fatimah Mohammed Agwai, said it had no control over the account and would not be responsible for any posts, statements, messages, links or other content published from it.
It urged members of the public, development partners, stakeholders and the media to disregard any communication emanating from the compromised account until further notice.
According to the Commission, it is taking appropriate measures to address the breach and regain control of its official X account.
The NHRC said it would communicate with the public and its partners through its verified and established communication channels once an official medium on X becomes available.
The Commission apologised for any inconvenience caused by the development and thanked the public, partners and stakeholders for their understanding and continued cooperation.
