Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, has finally reacted to claims that the records of DAAR Communications on its database was manipulated after recent cyber attacks.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Commission said the allegation is false and misleading.
CAC clarified that no Nigerian company’s data was compromised despite the cyberattack.
The Commission further stressed that shareholders of DAAR Communications PLC have been in dispute over the ownership structure of the company since 2024, as evidenced by a formal complaint submitted to it.
“The Commission wishes to state clearly that this allegation is false and misleading. No data of any company was manipulated, tampered with, or altered as a result of that incident.
“In view of the above, we urge media organizations to uphold the ethics of professional journalism by ensuring balanced reporting, verifying facts with relevant authorities before publication, and refraining from disseminating misleading information,” the Commission stated.
Recall that CAC confirmed that its database was hacked, which led to the suspension of company registration.
