The wife of the president, Aisha Buhari has debunked the alleged statement issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, extending the validity of old N500, and N1,000 notes to May 1.
Aisha Buhari said the statement shared on her Instagram page on Tuesday morning was fake. She insisted that her account was hacked.
The first lady in a disclaimer on her Facebook Page, said the statement was posted by a hacker with the intention to attack her reputation.
She said, “It has come to my attention that a certain fake news was posted on my social media handle, Instagram, which also directly connects to my Facebook page, earlier this morning. I have since directed that it should be deleted,” the post reads.
“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.”
