The Facebook account of Dr. Nureni Adeniran, the Executive Chairman of Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB), has been hacked.
The Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board disclosed this in a statement obtained on Tuesday.
The statement added that the hackers had been using the account to perpetrate evil acts on unsuspecting Facebook friends.
The statement read, “It has come to the notice of OYOSUBEB that some unscrupulous persons have hacked into the Facebook account of our Chairman, Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, and are now using the channel to defraud individuals.”
“This clearly violates Dr. Adeniran’s privacy and must be stopped henceforth as the laws of the land frown at it,” said the board.
The board further disclosed that Adeniran did not at any time give contracts of laptop purchase to anyone, warning the perpetrators of “this unscrupulous act to desist from it”.
“We hereby call on the general public to disregard any chats from the hackers through his platform,” it said.
However, the board added that the public should disregard any message from the said account, as the chairman will not convey official information through private chats on any social media platform.
Meanwhile, the public was also warned not to add any parody account disguised to belong to Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran on Facebook.
