The Economic and Financial Crimes Crime Commission (EFCC) has spoken about the sudden disappearance of its account from the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Checks on Thursday, August 15, 2024, showed that the landing page of the EFCC account, which had over two million followers, read: “The term you entered did not bring up any results. Please try again later.”
However, the anti-graft agency’s website and other social media accounts, including Facebook and Instagram, were functional.
Speaking on the development via a statement on Thursday, the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said the disappearance of the account was due to a technical glitch which occurred during an update of information on the page.
Oyewale debunked claims that the EFCC’s X account was hacked by some individuals, describing the claims as false and misleading.

He stated: “Contrary to such unfounded claims, the Commission’s official X account has not been compromised in any way.
“While attempting to update certain information on the Commission’s biography on the app, a technical glitch occurred. This issue was promptly reported to the X Support Team and the process of restoring the account is now in its final stages.
“The EFCC’s official X account will be fully functional soon and we appreciate the understanding of all our stakeholders during this period.
“All other verified channels of communication of the Commission are still available for our regular news and information.”
