The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has confirmed that its Twitter account has been hacked, stating that they are working on the retrieval.

This happened barely 48 hours after viral audio released by an ‘anonymous’ supported the #EndSARS protest, thereby giving the government 72 hours or risked hacking.
This was confirmed today on Twitter after the group made a couple of pro-EndSARS tweets using the handle of the NBC.
The group said they are out to disclose the secrets of the Nigerian government and also asked Nigerians to pick the government websites they would want to get hacked.
The NBC official Twitter account tweeted randomly in support of the protest and the suspicion of an account was confirmed when it tweeted “Good morning, great Nigerians. TGIF and it’s also a good day to #ENDSARS and #EndSWAT Which government website(s) would you want us to play with? Drop your suggestions under this tweet. #TwitterDown #NBChacked”
