Nigerian Army restores official X account after cyberattack
The Nigerian Army has announced the full restoration of its official X account, @HQNigerianArmy, following an attempted cyber breach in August.
The Army made the announcement in a post on its official X handle on Sunday, confirming that the account had been recovered and returned to its exclusive official management.
The restoration brings an end to concerns surrounding the security of the military institution’s social media platform after the attempted cyberattack.
“This account is fully restored and back under the official management of the Nigerian Army. We appreciate your patience and understanding,” the post read.
The restoration brings to an end a recovery process that began after the Army detected attempts to gain unauthorised access to the account on August 29, 2026, at about 5pm.
The Army had subsequently worked to secure and recover the account following the incident.
