Fraudsters better known as 419 or Yahoo boys have totally taken over the Tweeter and Facebook accounts of Kukere crooner, Iyanya Mbuk and that of his manager, Ubi Franklin.
In a statement released by their recording company, Made Men Music label, they said that Yahoo boys took over the account on Monday this week, adding that they are working very hard with managers of Tweeter and Facebook to retrieve the account from the fraudsters.
“In the past few hours Nigerian entertainer, Iyanya Mbuk along with his manager Ubi Franklin have been the victims of hacking. Regrettably, the individual(s) involved have posted false endorsements on Iyanya’s Facebook page and Twitter with the aim of deceiving fans and followers for personal gain, and have maliciously changed Ubi Franklin’s Twitter handle.
“We’re currently working with Twitter and Facebook to regain access to the accounts and in the meantime fans can continue to interact with Iyanya via his official Instagram account (@Iyanya).
Iyanya apologises for any inconvenience caused and urges fans to ignore any requests that the hackers might make,” the label said in the statement.
