“Members of the public should ignore any such communications as they are not authorized by the Governor,” Rasheed emphasized.
The state government is actively addressing the breach and restoring security to the Governor’s communication channels.
An investigation is underway, and efforts are being made to prevent future occurrences.
The government has urged residents and officials to report any suspicious activities or interactions related to the compromised number.
“We promise to keep the public updated as we work to resolve the situation and strengthen security measures around the Governor’s telecommunications,” Rasheed said.
This incident is not the first time a state Governor’s phone number has been hacked, as Cross Rivers State Governor Bassey Otu’s phone numbers were compromised by criminals in February 2023.
