    Anonymous Claims to Hack FG Websites as Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Endorsed #EndSARS Protests

    Anonymous Claims to Hack FG Websites as Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Endorsed #EndSARS Protests

    Decentralised international ‘hacktivist’ group, Anonymous, has claimed to have hacked several government databases, including one which contains names and contact of operatives of the now-defunct Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS). The cyber activist group revealed this via a Twitter handle.

    #Nigeria: Anonymous hacks multiple government websites in solidarity with #EndSARS protestors and retribution for violence by police. #OpNigeria #EndSARSProtest

    — Anonymous (@YourAnonCentral) October 14, 2020

    This comes even as an audio message purportedly from the group issuing a 72-hour ultimatum to Nigeria’s Federal Government to address the demands of the #EndSARS protesters is circulating around social media. In the audio recording, a computer-generated voice could be heard announcing the ‘peaceful warning.’

    “This proves the level of brutality caused by the police and the government who have both violated the rights of the citizens. Irrespective of tribe, it’s disheartening that you won’t bring to justice every police who have involved in the killing of the protesters. This is not a threat, this is a peaceful warning from us. You have 72 hours to hear and assure your citizens,” the recording says.

    Anonymous is a decentralised group of anonymous hackers widely known for carrying out anonymous cyberattacks against governments and government agencies. It was formed in 2003.

    Anonymous’ ultimatum is coming after Jack Dorsey joined the #ENDSARS protest by the Nigerian youths seeking the reformation of the police as well as an end to SARS. The Twitter CEO made this known in a tweet yesterday with the hashtag #ENDSARS which trended as number 1 globally on October 10.

    In addition to lending his voice to the protest online, Dorsey used his Twitter handle to ask people to donate money to the cause via bitcoin.

    Donate via #Bitcoin to help #EndSARS 🇳🇬 https://t.co/kf305SFXze

    — jack (@jack) October 14, 2020

    The donations made in support of the protest so far are N62,643,663 out of which N13,026,580 has been used to sort bills including medical bills and purchase of supplies like food, umbrellas and raincoats.

    Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO

    Nigerians have taken to Twitter to show appreciation and endorsement of Dorsey’s open stand with the masses.

    Even though you’ve suspended so many of us accounts in the past, right now you’re forgiven.
    God almighty will bless Jack!

    Omo, this just got bigger than anyone have ever thought. What a time to be alive!!!!!!!!!! #EndSWAT

    Thank you @jack my coming generations will remember you.
    I will be giving Jack a Chieftaincy title in my village.
    Our fight for good governance continues.

    — Mr Enebechi M (Emperor of Nigeria &Duke of Enugu) (@MrEnebechi) October 14, 2020

    Adamu Garba comes for Jack

    Jack Dorsey’s support and endorsement hasn’t gone down well with some members of the ruling class though. One of them is former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba who took to social media to make his objection known.

    In his tweet, Garba who contested under the ruling APC advised Jack Dorsey to stay out of the protest which he described as a “political agitation, capable of breaking law & order in our country”. He also admonished the CEO not to be a “moral & financial sponsor to this.”

    Garba went on to say that most of the demands of the protest had been met by the relevant authorities in Nigeria, citing the disbandment of SARS as a major achievement.

    This is Nigeria, most of the demands initially presented was attended to by the responsible authorities. SARS no longer exist in this country.

    Your support for a disbanded entity was a needless interference. We cannot allow killings again in Nigeria in the name of protests.

    — Adamu Garba II (@adamugarba) October 14, 2020

    Following Mr Garba’s tweet, protesters have taken to social media to drag him, with some saying that Garba’s response is because he is a beneficiary of the bad and corrupt governance system in the country.

    Adamu Garba is one of the few Nigerians that benefits from the corrupt system.. It’s hard to see the rot in a system that rewards him and his family. Now he don come here to yarn dust.. surprising how one would publicly display his utter lack of intergrity #Nigeria #5for5 https://t.co/Pa8zTiJRp9

    — greenwitch (@conscious_bet) October 15, 2020

    Some others have called for the suspension of Garba’s Twitter account, saying they are not part of the ‘US’ in the ‘Nigeria’ that he claims to be advocating for.

    Dear @jack on behalf of we Nigerians we deny him, we are not part of the "US" he is talking about, He is also part of the problems we are facing in Nigeria, please kindly ignore and suspend his account, its of no relevance or use to him atm.

    — I no go lie™♋🇳🇬 (@Selvinpayne) October 15, 2020

    The protests have continued to gather momentum with each passing day as protesters say they aren’t leaving the streets until their demands are fully met.
