Taking to his X page, the Legislator disclosed that his page was infiltrated on January 1.

This forced the MP to assure the public that necessary measures were being undertaken to restore the page. 

While commenting on the same issue, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino alleged that the hackers had sent a direct message coercing him to send them money.

"Ndindi Nyoro's Facebook account has been hacked and the hackers are inboxing me to send them some money," Babu Owino claimed.

Blogger Dennis Itumbi similarly reaffirmed the occurrence, urging the public to ignore any fresh updates emanating from the hacked page.

"Please take note that hackers have taken control of the FB profile of Ndindi Nyoro and the official page of Ndindi Nyoro," Itumbi noted.

 

"Ignore the updates and Inbox messages being shared by the hackers. We are working to recover and restore the pages."

 

The incident comes less than a month after Kenya's Second Lady Pastor Dorcas Rigathi lost her Facebook page for anonymous reasons.

 

Speculations had it that the page could have been brought down due to Pastor Dorcas' controversial sentiments on gay relationships.
