Abuja (Core Reporters) – The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has raised the alarm over the compromise of its official X account, saying it is currently under the unauthorized control of an individual or account operating as @ephesus_lib.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Director, Corporate Affairs and External Liaisons, Fatimah Mohammed Agwai, on Thursday 3 September 2026.

The statement reads in part: “The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) wishes to inform the general public, development partners, stakeholders and the media that its official X account (formerly Twitter) has been compromised and is currently under the unauthorized control of an individual/account operating as @ephesus_lib.

“Accordingly, the Commission does not authorize, approve, or assume responsibility for any posts, statements, messages, links, or other content currently published by the compromised account.

“The public and all partners are therefore advised to exercise caution and ignore any communications from the account until further notice.

“The Commission is taking appropriate measures to address the compromise and restore control of its official X account.

“The NHRC will notify the general public and its partners through its verified and established communications channels as soon as an official medium on X becomes available.

“The Commission regrets any inconvenience this development may cause and appreciates the understanding and continued cooperation of the public, partners and stakeholders.”
