“You can see that other social media pages of the commission are still functional.

He added that the anti-graft agency was also updating its records on the account.

Checks by NAN on Thursday showed that the landing page of the account, which had over two million followers, reads: ‘The term you entered did not bring up any results. Please try again later’.
