“We #Anonymous have taken over all the NG Official Twitter’s Account to support #ENDPOLICEBRUTALITY.WE’RE TOGETHER WITH NIGERIANS. EXPECT UNEXPECTED,” the group said in one of the tweets on the NBC handle.
It also called on Nigerians to suggest other government websites for hacking. It equally vowed to expose the Nigerian government.
