The WhatsApp account of the Interim Administrator of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Mr Effiong Akwa has been hacked, InsightMedia gathered.
Mr Akwa in a statement by the Head of the New Media of the NDDC, Chijioke Amu-Nnadi on Sunday in Port Harcourt, warned members of the public against having transaction with the alleged hackers.
The statement reads, “This is to bring to the attention of Stakeholders, the Security Agencies and the general public that the WhatsApp numbers of the Interim Administrator/CEO of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Dr. Efiong Okon Akwa, have been hacked. The hackers, who are obviously desperate to discredit the reputation of Dr. Akwa, particularly in his duties at the Commission, are circulating messages purporting same to originate from him.
“Efforts are currently ongoing to retrieve the numbers and restore same to Dr. Akwa.
“Consequently, all Stakeholders and the general public are advised to disregard any message on WhatsApp, Facebook, Facebook Messenger and/or any other messaging apps currently in circulation, or that may still be sent out with those mobile numbers until full recovery and full restoration are achieved.”
