The Nigerian Presidency has revealed that the Twitter Account of Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo was attacked on Friday by Hackers.
Laolu Akande, a media aide to the Vice President, revealed this via a statement on his personal Twitter account;
“Yesterday, there were failed external attempts to gain unauthorized access to the Vice President’s Twitter Account.”
“Since, we have been in contact with Twitter, securing the account, and forestalling a reoccurrence. The VP will continue to actively communicate with our citizens.”
Osinbajo’s account disappeared on twitter briefly on Saturday after it was unverified and over 2,000 tweets deleted.
