The Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has denied tweeting about the release of abducted schoolboys in Kankara, Katsina State.
Nigerians went into momentary joy after a tweet from Dabiri-Erewa’s Twitter handle emerged announcing the ‘the release’ of the boys.
“Yaay, the 333 boys captured in katsina have been rescued. Alhamdulillah!
“Buhari administration has brought back our boys. BringBackOurBoys. Our boys are back.” The tweet has since been deleted.
She sent out another tweet moment later, saying her account was hacked.
Pls don’t credit any post on katsina boys to my twitter handle. I lost control of my handle in the last couple of minutes, along with my Instagram. I have recovered and changed my password

“Pls don’t credit any post on katsina boys to my Twitter handle. I lost control of my handle in the last couple of minutes, along with my Instagram. I have recovered and changed my password,” she tweeted.
This comes after Boko Haram released the video of the schoolboys Thursday.
Over 330 students at a secondary school were abducted on Friday by the terrorist group, Boko Haram five years after similar the incident in Dapchi, Yobe State where schoolgirls were kidnapped by Boko Haram.
