According to the Nigeria Police Force, the social media accounts of the Enugu State Government were not compromised.

This was revealed in a statement released in Abuja on Friday by ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer.

“The Nigeria police force dismisses the false narrative of an alleged hack of the Enugu state government’s official account, resulting in the theft of N1.09 billion.

“This assertion is completely unfounded as the case had been investigated by the NPF-National Cyber Crime Centre, NCCC.

“It was a case of procurement fraud, not a cyber-breach, the suspect was arrested and the funds, recovered,” he said.

Adejobi said the Enugu state government and other Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government and corporate firms were in partnership with the NPF-NCCC in the investigation.

The police spokesperson said the partnership had established comprehensive and fortified security protocols to safeguard the state’s financial systems.

He urged the public to refrain from engaging in misinformation and always verify the credibility of news sources.
