Gays Hack Nigerian Government Website - Nigeria.gov.ng


Irish hacker angered over Nigeria's anti-gay bill which is believed to be capable of sending those who practice same sex love to 14yrs imprisonment hacks Nigeria's website... also gave the president 72 hours to renounce and veto the bill.
An Irish hacker, angered by Nigeria’s stance on homosexuality, has attacked Nigeria’s official government website in an attempt to coerce President Goodluck Jonathan to veto a bill seeking to jail homosexuals. The attack happened on Thursday night and normalcy only returned to the site at about 11.00 p.m. on Thursday. It is not known whether it was the government that regained control or whether the attackers simply suspended the attack.
The anti-gay bill, passed by Nigeria’s National Assembly and generously supported by Nigerians, seeks to jail convicted homosexuals for 14 years. “Nobody should live in fear of being jailed, when their only action is loving another consenting adult, regardless of gender,” the Irish hacker, Paddyhack said. A message left on the defaced website gave the president 72 hours to “renounce and veto this Bill…” “Failure to follow our order will unleash a torrent of fury aimed directly at the direction of your  administration, starting with some startling but unsurprising evidence of corruption in your ranks,”the hacker, who also claims to be a member of the global Anonymous group, said.
“No need to start destroying evidence. I already have it,” the hacker declared. The hacked website, Nigeria.gov.ng, is Nigeria’s official website. It is the equivalent of UK’s gov.uk and U.S’ USA.gov. It is managed by Nigeria’s information ministry.
