Hacker seizes APC Twitter handle
A hacker, on Saturday, April 14, 2018, took over a Twitter account linked to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The party’s spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, in a swift reaction, disowned the account, saying “For the upteenth time, @APCNigeria IS NOT the official Twitter handle of the All Progressives Congress (APC). In several official statements, we have disclaimed that handle. We view this latest development as a case of criminal impersonation.”
