The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reacted to reports that its X account was hacked by internet fraudsters.

The anti-graft agency is trending on the aforementioned social media platform over reports of the account being hacked and deleted by ‘Yahoo boys’, with netizens sharing varying reactions.

Per online reports, the perpetrators accused EFCC of disregarding constitutional norms in cracking down on dubious activities among Nigerians online.

Daily Sun conducted checks on Thursday and confirmed that the agency’s X account was not available.

Reacting to the development, EFCC’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, who spoke with Punch disclosed that an update on the agency’s account is responsible for the glitch.

According to him, the account would soon be accessible to members of the public.

“We are updating our records on the account. It was not hacked. It will soon start running,” Oyewale said.
