BREAKING: NBC confirms Twitter account hack

Following a series of Pro-EndSARS tweets coming from the National Broadcasting Commission’s Twitter handle, the NBC, has confirmed that its Twitter account was hacked, stating that they are working on the retrieval.

This happened barely 48 hours after viral audio released by an ‘anonymous’ supporting the #EndSARS protest, thereby giving the government 72 hours or risked hacking.

The NBC official Twitter account tweeted randomly in support of the protest and the suspicion of an account was confirmed when it tweeted,

“Good morning, great Nigerians. TGIF and it’s also a good day to #ENDSARS and #EndSWAT Which government website(s) would you want us to play with? Drop your suggestions under this tweet. #TwitterDown #NBChacked”

It further tweeted,

“we anonymous are out to expose government’s secret and dirty files.”
