Hackers on Tuesday breached the Tanzania Police Force’s X account, spreading false information, conducting a live stream, and disseminating a false death report targeting President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
The social media handle, with approximately 468,705 followers, last posted an update on Saturday, May 17, 2025.
On Monday, Tanzanian President Suluhu Hassan broke her silence regarding the arrest and detention of a number of several Kenyan lawyers and activists who were travelling to Tanzania on Sunday.
In her speech, President Suluhu made it clear that authorities had been instructed to prevent anyone seeking to disrupt peace in her country from entering Tanzania.
“Tumeanza kuona mtiririko au mwenendo wa wanaharakati ndani ya region yetu hii kuwaza, kuvamia na kuingililia mambo yetu. Kama kwao wameshadhibitiwa wasije kutuharibia huku,” she stated.
“Nawaomba sana vyombo vya ulinzi na usalama, na ninyi wasimamizi wa sera zetu za nje kutokutoa nafasi kwa watovu wa adabu wa nchi nyingine kuja hapa kwetu, hapana!” she added.
Suluhu emphasized that under her leadership, no foreign national will be allowed to enter Tanzania and interfere in local affairs.
