There have been speculations that suspected internet fraudsters who threatened to wage cyber warfare against the EFCC had hacked the anti-graft agency’s X account.
According to reports, some internet fraudsters had accused the anti-graft commission of disregarding constitutional norms in cracking down on dubious activities among Nigerians online.
Checks on the account on Thursday morning showed that the account was not available.
However, the agency’s website and other social media pages, such as Facebook and Instagram, were functional.
