Popular betting site, Bet9ja has been hacked by cyber terrorists.
Sports pundits were shocked on Wednesday as they could not access the site.
Our correspondent who tried to access the site, only saw the official statement from the betting site confirming the hack.
The statement reads, “Just like so many market-leading global organizations, Bet9ja recently became a victim of a sophisticated criminal cyber-attack, which is restricting your access to our platform.
“We take this matter extremely seriously. Our priority is protecting our customers and you have our assurances that your accounts and all your funds are safe.
“We appreciate your patience and understanding at this difficult time.
“We will be back stronger as soon as is technically possible, rewarding you with a truly sensational bonanza of promotions.”
According to an operator, Michael Okoro who spoke with our Correspondent in Owerri, he said that he worked in his shop late on Tuesday and noticed the abnormalities early Wednesday morning.
He also alleged that the hackers have contacted the betting company and demanded a ransom of N5bn.
