Abuja, March 29, 2024: For an umpteenth time, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), has petitioned the Inspector General Police on the hacking of her x ( formerly Twitter ) Account and criminal usage of it by unidentified persons.

In the petition, which was personally written by her, she gave a vivid account of how her Twitter account was hijacked and impersonated by some criminally minded persons.

She said that her profile was being used to dupe some innocent Nigerians under the guise of interacting with her.

Dabiri-Erewa therefore pleaded with the IG-P to use his good offices through the relevant departments to ensure recovery of her account and track down the hackers.

The petition is also to advise her numerous supporters and followers on x( Twitter) not to fall prey to any request purportedly coming from her as the account had been hijacked despite using two-step security features.

For now, she is on Instagram only where her followers and friends can reach out to her.

She noted that several report to Elon Musk’s X has yielded no results wondering why the owner of X could not put in extra efforts to safe guard the identity of its users.

Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa‘s account hacked a few months back has almost 900k followers.
