The Lagos State government official website has been
restored for full online services, ITRealms
confirms this Saturday.
ITRealms recalls
that suspected terrorists hackers had hijacked the official website of the Lagos State
government, with a message depicting that Nigerian Government, United States,
and Israel among others as sponsors of terrorism.
The suspected message, ITRealms
gathered may not be unconnected to the death of members of the Shiite Islamic
Sect in Zaria, Kaduna State by soldiers on the convoy of Chief of Army staff, Lieutenant
General Tukur Yusuf Buratai.
Part of the message read: “Boko Haram and ISIS are
terrorists, They are killing Muslims and innocent people because of your dirty
money, Hey Nigeria Government you killed thousands of Muslims and specially
Zakzaky’s family too, You are all terrorists, You are all murderers, GOD damn
you! Allahu maulana wala mula lakum.”
Reacting, the Lagos State Government acknowledged the hacking
of its official website, but added that it has recovered the site.
The Lagos state Information and Strategy Commissioner, Mr.
Steve Ayorinde said that the State Government wish to inform the general public
that its website, was in the early
hours of Friday, yesterday, December 18, 2015 “hacked by unknown individual or
group posting provocative messages on the site.”
He also said the site has since been cleared, and fully
restored to continue its updating of citizens, especially Lagosians with
relevant information and the activities of Gov. Akin Ambode’s administration,
even as the hacking was reported to the State Security Service and the Police.
