‘Hackers’ Disrupt Nigeria Investors’ Event With Blue Film

In an unexpected turn of events, attendees at a crucial investors’ call, organized by Nigeria’s Debt Management Office (DMO), were caught off guard after a pornographic video clip interrupted the call on Thursday.

The call was part of a hybrid roadshow aimed at securing dollar investments for the federal government’s dollar-denominated domestic bond.

The incident occurred during an online session attended by investors, analysts, bank officials, and government stakeholders, who had gathered to discuss the prospects of the federal government’s $500 million domestic bond, set to be issued on August 19.

The DMO has yet to issue a statement regarding the incident, which has been linked to hackers.

According to a source who attended the event and spoke to TheCable, the video clip played for about 10 seconds before the session was abruptly disconnected.

The pornographic clip reportedly featured explicit content, which caught attendees off guard due to its graphic nature and volume.

The roadshow was expected to highlight Nigeria’s economic reform and development efforts, with the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, emphasizing the government’s readiness to launch the bond.

The initiative is aimed at raising a minimum of $500 million from both local and international investors, marking a significant step in Nigeria’s ongoing economic reforms.

Edun further explained that the bond issuance is designed to leverage the Nigerian financial system, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), banking systems, and investment bankers.

The government is particularly focused on attracting foreign currency held by Nigerians abroad, as well as other international investors who support the macroeconomic reform initiatives led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“In the financial market, you never know. When you wake up and you see an event that helps the issue, you will take advantage of it,” Edun remarked during the session, despite the embarrassing pornographic video clip disruptions.

He expressed the government’s eagerness to not only secure the funds but also to involve Nigerians in taking leadership roles in this critical area.”
