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.
The Commission, in a public disclaimer issued by its Director, Corporate Affairs and External Linkages, Fatimah Mohammed Agwai, said it does not authorise, endorse or take responsibility for any posts, statements, messages, links or other content being published from the affected account.
The NHRC consequently urged members of the public, development partners, stakeholders and the media to exercise caution and disregard any communication emanating from the compromised account until further notice.
According to the Commission, appropriate steps are already being taken to address the security breach and restore control of its official X account.
The NHRC further assured stakeholders that it would communicate through its verified and established channels once an official medium on X becomes available.
The Commission regretted any inconvenience the development may cause and expressed appreciation to the public, partners and stakeholders for their understanding and continued cooperation.
