Our X account now restored, we have resumed updates - Nigerian Army

The Nigerian Army announced on Sunday that its now-defunct X social media account, previously known as Twitter, has been restored following technical difficulties. Colonel Appolonia Anele, the Acting Director of Army Public Relations, revealed this development in a statement on Sunday. The army had been grappling with unauthorized access to the platform since August 29, 2026.

The account has been secured and administrative control has been fully reinstated, enabling the Nigerian Army to resume regular updates on its operations, achievements, and institutional developments. This successful recovery highlights the Nigerian Army's dedication to maintaining the security and credibility of its digital communication channels, ensuring the public receives reliable and verified information.

The army expressed gratitude to Nigerians, media personnel, and other stakeholders for their understanding, patience, and cooperation during the period when the account was inaccessible. It also acknowledged their support in maintaining access to credible information via alternative official communication channels. The army urged the public to reconnect with and follow its restored official X account, @HQNigerianArmy, for prompt, authentic, and verified updates on its activities and developments.

The Nigerian Army emphasized its commitment to transparent and effective strategic communication, sustained public engagement, and strengthening the bond of trust between the military and the Nigerian people. The restored X account is now accessible as @HQNigerianArmy, where the public can find timely and verified information on the Nigerian Army's activities and developments.
