SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS OF THE UNIVERSITY VICE CHANCELLOR WERE COMPROMISED – MANAGEMENT

The Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), in Bauchi State, claims that Muhammad AbdulAzeez, its vice chancellor, has had his Facebook and other social media accounts hacked.

This information can be found in a statement made on Sunday by Kabiru Aminu, Directorate of Information and Public Relations, ATBU, Bauchi.

The spokesperson claimed that the vice chancellor’s Facebook account had been hacked for some time and warned anyone who conducted business with the account’s handler was on his own.

“The attention of the University’s Management is once again drawn despite the earlier issued disclaimer notice that some people continued to fall into the trap of scammers in the name of transacting business with ATBU, through the hacked social media handles of the Vice-Chancellor.

“The General Public is hereby once again reminded that the Facebook account and other social media handles of the Vice-Chancellor have been hacked by some individuals for their selfish purposes.

“As a result, we would like to remind the general public to disregard any request(s) to offer contract, job employment, or seek any kind of assistance or help to any individual(s) or company on the account of the Vice-Chancellor, ATBU, Bauchi,” he said.
