Irishman Hacks Nigeria Govt Website, Gives FG 72 Hours To Renounce Anti-Gay Bil
Exasperated
by the way Nigeria handles the homosexuality matter, an Irish hacker -- who
goes by the monicker Paddyhack -- has conducted a cyber attack on the
official government of Nigeria's website. The 'assault' is apparently aimed at
making President Jonathan to veto the bill according to which all homosexuals
in Nigeria are subject to imprisonment. The website was attacked on Thursday
night; though things were later restored, it remains unknown if it were the
officials that took matters in their hands, or the attackers stepped back.
Naij.com reminds that, according to the
anti-gay bill, recently passed by the National Assembly of Nigeria to the
vigorous support of Nigerians, convicted homosexual persons are subject to 14-years
imprisonment.
In his address to Nigerians, the Irish
hacker said thus: "Nobody should live in fear of being jailed, when their
only action is loving another consenting adult, regardless of gender."
'Paddyhack' 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. No need to start destroying evidence. I already have
it," the Irish hacker, claiming to belong to the global Anonymous
group, declared.
