Why our X account appears deleted – EFCC …C0NTINUE READING HERE >>>
The Economic and Financial Crimes Crime Commission (EFCC) says its X account is being updated to meet global standards and serve the public better.
This is the reason the EFCC has given for the disappearance of its X (formerly Twitter) account, which appears to have been hacked.
EFCC Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, told NAN in Abuja: ”our X account is down temporarily due to ongoing upgrade and we will soon bounce back.
“You know when there is an upgrade in a system, it may be temporarily down and inaccessible. We are doing the upgrade to serve the public better. You can see that other social media pages of the commission are still functional”.
He said that the anti-graft agency was also updating its records on the account, saying: ”Our account was not hacked. It will soon start running”.
Checks on Friday showed that the landing page of the account, which had over two million followers, reads: “This account doesn’t exist. Try searching for another”.
However, the agency’s website and other social media pages, such as Facebook and Instagram, are functional.
There are a number of reasons why accounts on the platform may not be accessible.
They include poor internet connection, uncleared cache, suspicious usage/attempted hack, to the flagging of the handle for a violation of X policies.
