The WhatsApp number of the Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Enoh, has been hacked.

This was disclosed in a statement released by his spokesperson, Diana-Mary Nsan, on Monday.

Nsan also urged Nigerians not to respond to any message or messages via the hacked WhatsApp number until the situation is resolved.

“Good day Ladies and Gentlemen,” the statement read.

“It is of great importance that I bring to your notice, that the WhatsApp number of the Honourable Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh has been hacked.

“Please, do not respond to any message or messages demanding from you or making requests, as that fellow isn’t the Sports Minister.

“The situation will be arrested. Do accept our assurances and best regards.”

Enoh was appointed as Minister of Sports Development by President Bola Tinubu in August 2023.
