The Forum for Democratic Change has confirmed that the account belonging to the opposition candidate Kizza Besigye has been hacked and is being used by someone who is not known to them.
This came after a post that appeared on the FDC facebook page that seemed to be sparking fire and igniting the war which was posted 10 hours ago. However the Forum for Democratic Change party has come to disown the post and said that the post was not posted by their man in the siege Dr. Kizza Besigye.
It’s not yet clear who could be using that account but some are suspecting that it could be a government official while others are saying that it might be a curious fan of Kizza Besigye. Below is what was posted on the FDC Facebook page
“Dr. Besigye’s Facebook account has been hacked. Statements posted recently, carried in The Independent Magazine – Uganda are not from him.”
All this time when Kizza Besigye has been denied access to journalists so often and has been using Facebook as his mode of communication. Hacking his Facebook account is like cutting him from public communication. But his IT team is doing all possible to make sure they secure the account back.
