The Nigerian Army has restored its official X account, @HQNigerianArmy, following an attempted cyber breach in August.
The Army announced the development in a post on its verified X handle on Sunday, confirming that the account had returned to its exclusive official management.
“This account is fully restored and back under the official management of the Nigerian Army. We appreciate your patience and understanding,” the post read.

The restoration ends a recovery process that began after the Army detected attempts to gain unauthorised access to the account on August 29, 2026, at about 5pm.
The military subsequently commenced efforts to secure and recover the account following the incident.
