The compromised number, +234 803 365 7555, is reported to have been hacked, leading to potential fraudulent communications being sent from it.
“Members of the public should ignore any such communications as they are not authorized by the Governor,” Rasheed emphasized.
The state government is actively taking measures to address the breach and restore security to the Governor’s communication channels.
An investigation into the incident is underway, and efforts are ongoing to prevent future occurrences.
Residents and officials have been urged to report any suspicious activities or interactions related to the compromised number.
The government promises to keep the public updated as they work to resolve the situation and strengthen security measures around the Governor’s telecommunications.
CityNews Nigeria understands that this is not the first time the phone number of a state Governor will be hacked as the Cross Rivers State Governor, Bassey Otu, on the 11th of February, 2023, saw his phone numbers hacked by criminals.
