Editor's Review

  • The page was hacked on Monday evening.

Journalist Jacque Maribe has warned her fans, asking them to ignore any posts that are shared on her official Facebook page.

In a statement, Ms Maribe said her page was hacked on Monday at 7PM and she has already reported the matter to Facebook and its being looked into.

“Kindly disregard any posts coming from The Official Jacque Maribe Facebook page as from 7:00pm EAT on Monday 26 July 2021. The page was hacked and the matter was reported and is currently being handled."

"The culprits are DESA JURANGMANGU who has claimed ownership of the page and is posting explicit content, RONALDO NOVAIS who is posing as the page admin, NOMAN NIXAMANI also posing as admin, and ABOAS NIZ posing as analyst: all accounts of which appear to be fake. Please take care of being hacked by the same culprits,” she said.

The mother of one had in an earlier post asked why someone would hack her account and post weird things on the page.

“I got HACKED!!! On FB!!! The initial shock has me laughing at how idle some people can be to an extent of gross mischief. Ah, some people can be hilarious. What benefit does a person get from hacking someone's page to post absurd and weird stuff? It is quite unfortunate,” wrote Maribe.

The hacking comes just a few days after she introduced her new show ‘The Jacque Maribe show’.
