The Twitter handle of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), has been hacked.
It was allegedly taken over by an international hacking group, ‘Anonymous’, in support of the #EndSARS movement in Nigeria.
It also called on Nigerians to suggest other government websites for hacking.
“We #Anonymous have taken over all the NG Official Twitter’s Account to support #ENDPOLICEBRUTALITY,” the group said in one of the tweets on the NBC handle.
“WE’RE TOGETHER WITH NIGERIANS. EXPECT UNEXPECTED.”

“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.”
Anonymous is widely known for carrying out anonymous cyberattacks against governments and government agencies. It was formed in 2003.
