Fashola’s N78m website, Twitter account hacked

Immediate past Governor of Lagos State, Mr
Babatunde Fashola, SAN on Saturday drew attention
of members of the public to the antics of hackers,
who compromised his twitter
account @tundefashola and posted four tweets in a
language that resembled Japanese.

Early this morning, Vanguard gathered that all posts
on Fashola's official website http://brfashola.org/,
and feeds redirected to the his Twitter account,
@tundefashola appeared in a similar foreign
language (Japanese).

The website as at the point of gathering this report
can not longer be accessed due to 'unknown
technical problems'.


However, a statement signed by his former Special
Adviser on Media, Mr Hakeem Bello on Saturday,
revealed that the twitter account must have been
compromised on Friday, as members of the public,
who follow the former Governor, started calling to
draw attention to the strange tweets in the early
hours of Saturday.

It would be recalled that Governor Fashola also
recently dissociated himself from a facebook scam,
whereby some unscrupulous persons use his
photographs and ascribe fictitious statements to him
on fake Facebook accounts aimed at defrauding
innocent people.

The call became necessary for the umpteenth time,
the statement said then, in view of the activities of
scammers who have been issuing out series of
Facebook comments and information in his name
with the intention of during unsuspecting members
of the public.
