The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has reiterated that their official X (Twitter) account is still active and not hacked.

The commission however noted that during an attempt to update their bio, a technical glitch occurred which threatened the account but the process of restoring it remains largely successful.

“The Commission wishes to categorically state that these claims are false and misleading.

“Contrary to such unfounded claims, the Commission’s official X account has not been compromised in any way.

“While attempting to update certain information on the Commission’s biography on the app, a technical glitch occurred.

“This issue was promptly reported to the X Support Team and the process of restoring the account is now in its final stages.

“The EFCC’s official X account will be fully functional soon and we appreciate the understanding of all our stakeholders during this period.

“All other verified channels of communication of the Commission are still available for our regular news and information.” The commission said.
