AISHA BUHARI BLAMES FAKE CBN STATEMENT ON HACKERS
First Lady, Aisha Buhari has said a fake statement falsely attributed to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), shared via her Instagram handle, was posted by hackers.
The President’s wife disowned the post in a statement she released through her Instagram account on Tuesday, February 21, noting that hackers had been tampering with her account.
A statement which claimed that the old N500 and N1000 notes had been reintroduced along with N200 and would remain legal tender until May 1, 2023, was uploaded on the First Lady’s Instagram handle on Tuesday.
The statement said the decision to recirculate the old N500 and N1000 currencies was taken by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Monday, February 20.
The CBN, however, denounced the statement, describing it as fake news and urging the public to beware.
