Why Our X Account Is Down -EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) denounced the rumour that its account on X, formerly known as Twitter, was hacked noting it is being upgraded.

Osun Defender observed that the anti-graft agency’s account on the microblogging platform has not been accessible for days now.

The landing page of the account, which had over two million followers, reads: ‘The term you entered did not bring up any results. Please try again later’.

The spokesperson of the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, told NAN that the account is experiencing a down time due to upgrades.

“Our X account is down temporarily due to ongoing upgrades and we will soon bounce back,” he said.

“You know when there is an upgrade in a system, it may be temporarily down and inaccessible. We are doing the upgrade to serve the public better.

“You can see that other social media pages of the commission are still functional.”

Oyewale said contrary to some reports, the account was not hacked.

“Our account was not hacked. It will soon start running,” he said.

The agency’s website and other social media pages, such as Facebook and Instagram, are functional.

There are a number of reasons why accounts on the platform may not be accessible.

They include poor internet connection, uncleared cache, suspicious usage/attempted hack, to the flagging of the handle for a violation of X policies.
