A nude photo of Latin porn star, Lena Hensonu on the timeline of the Nigerian Ministry of Interior’s verified X page has sparked outrage from Nigerians on social media.
TheNewsGuru reports that an explicit image appeared on the Ministry’s timeline Tuesday night before it was deleted.
The post, which attracted users in the wee hours of Wednesday, remained visible for nearly 15 hours before it was taken down, long enough to trigger backlash online.
The Ministry, despite the mixed reactions triggered by the photo, has yet to address the incident. However, observers speculate that the repost may have resulted from an account breach or unauthorized access.
Checks show that the Ministry’s X handle has resumed regular posts, though it has not acknowledged the viral incident.
Social media users reacted with shock and ridicule.
“This country will humble you every day,” one user commented, while another joked, “Maybe they’re diversifying into entertainment.”
“And yet again, the incompetence seeps through. Top to bottom, laughable. Toh” another user adde
Another added: “They will say it’s AI, nothing in this country can surprise me, everything is possible in Nigeria.”
The Ministry of Interior, responsible for internal security and civil administration, is a key institution in Nigeria’s governance.
The reposted image has since been removed, but digital footprints of the incident continue to circulate across platforms.
