The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has announced that its official X (formerly Twitter) account has been compromised and is currently under the unauthorised control of an individual or account operating as @ephesus_lib.
In a public disclaimer issued by the Commission, signed by Fatimah Mohammed Agwai, Director, Corporate Affairs and External Linkages, NHRC said it does not authorise, endorse or accept responsibility for any posts, statements, messages, links or other content being published from the compromised account.
The Commission urged members of the public, development partners, stakeholders and the media to exercise caution and disregard any communication emanating from the account until further notice.
The NHRC said it is taking appropriate measures to address the security breach and regain control of its official X account.
It added that the public and its partners would be notified through the Commission’s verified and established communication channels once an official medium on X becomes available.
The Commission apologised for any inconvenience caused by the incident and appealed for the continued understanding and cooperation of the public and its stakeholders.
