The media office of Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, known as YAYI, representing Ogun West Senatorial District and serving as the Senate Chairman of the Committee on Appropriation, has alerted the public to a recent hack of the senator’s WhatsApp account.
Citizens are advised to disregard any financial requests originating from his number, as hackers may be attempting fraudulent transactions through the compromised line.
The incident, reported earlier today, has raised concerns of potential misuse of Senator Adeola’s profile. According to his media office, prompt security measures have been put in place to regain control of the account, with a resolution expected within the next 24 hours.
“Please disregard any financial transaction requests through the line,” the statement reads, adding that efforts are being made to restore the senator’s online security and prevent further misuse.
In the meantime, the YAYI Media Office urges citizens to remain vigilant and to avoid engaging with any suspicious messages linked to Senator Adeola’s number until the situation is fully resolved.
