Wife of the president, Aisha Buhari has issued a rebuttal that she did not post any statement emanating from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) that the apex bank has extended the use of the three old naira notes by 70 days.
She said her Instagram account was hacked and that the hacker posted the fake statement which also appeared on her Facebook page.
The CBN had issued a statement describing the post emanating from Aisha’s page as fake news.
Aisha, in a statement on her Facebook page on Tuesday, said the statement had been deleted.
She said it had come to her attention that a certain fake news was posted on her social media handle, Instagram which also directly connected to her Facebook page, earlier this morning, saying that she had since directed that it should be deleted.
“This is without a doubt the criminal actions of the person(s) who were responsible for deleting quite a number of my posts since 2018 to late last year when I posted a video and picture of my hands with Henna design of ABAT insignia on the day I launched the APC Women Presidential Campaign Committee for Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Ilorin, Kwara State, my post on the event for the Traditional and Complementary Alternative Medicine (TCAM) conference and 17 other posts.
“This person is a hacker, criminally minded with the intention to continue attacking my reputation through my social media platforms.
“But I am assuring you that this is the first and last I am disclaiming fake news on my handle. It is the responsibility of the security agencies to find out who am I sharing my social media handles with, despite being verified accounts, and take all necessary actions,’ she said.
