A former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has alleged that the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) statement regarding its official website being compromised in a cyberattack is “suspicious.”
This was disclosed in a statement by the Atiku Media Office on Thursday, which stated that the incident, the first of its kind in the bureau’s history, raises concern.
In a statement posted on its X account (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, the Bureau disclosed the incident and assured the public that efforts are underway to recover the website.
“This is to inform the public that the NBS website has been hacked, and we are working to recover it.
“Please disregard any message or report posted until the website is fully restored. Thank you,” the statement read.
