A white man who goes by the name Justin Sun on his Twitter handle is alleged to have claimed that someone he identified as “Nigerian president” sold the official Twitter handle of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to him for $2,000.

A rabidly circulating tweet with suspicious verified Twitter handle, “Justin Sun @APCNigeria,” shows one Justin Sun threatening to reveal all the correspondences between him and a supposed president of Nigeria if his demands were not met.

In the Tweet allegedly posted at 7.52pm on Saturday, April 14, 2018, Justin Sun, who resides in San Francisco, state of California, USA, asked to be paid $100,000 for him to shut up about how APC’s Twitter handle became his personal possession.


 
Sun wrote: “If the president of Nigeria does not pay me $100K, I’ll post all the correspondence here, and the whole world will see it.”

According to the information available on Justin Sun’s available verified Twitter handle, he is the founder of Tron Foundation and he is one of Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 entrepreneurs and the First Millennial Graduate of Hupan University Founded By Jack Ma of the Alibaba Group.



It showed that the handle later changed from Justin Sun to Nigerian F**k and John McAfee.

Responding, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Bolaji Abdullahi, denied the alleged ruling party’s Twitter account, saying @APCNigeria that goes with Justin Sun’s controversial Twitter handle isn’t the official Twitter account of the ruling party.
