Jalango had pleaded with the public to get help regain his Twitter handle but all was futile. He even went ahead and announced a Ks.50,000 cash prize for anyone who would help him regain the account.
“ I have been trying to regain the account for almost a year now, there was a time the person trying to handle it was almost getting it but the hacker keeps on changing the account every time” Jalango’ stated
The account in question had a whopping 500K followers and had been active for years.
After failing to regain control of the account, Jalango threw in the towel and decided to open a new twitter account.
The new account handle @ThisIsJalas has since gained traction and already has over 1000 followers.
“Let’s start again” Jalango wrote.
