The management of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), has apologised to the Agency’s subscribers and the general public over the regrettable publication on its website on the night of Saturday, 26th July 2025, regarding the results of Women’s Africa Cup of Nations 2024 Final between Nigeria and Morocco.
The Director General of VON, Jibrin Baba Ndace in a statement said the erroneous report, which prematurely and falsely announced a Nigerian loss before the conclusion of the match, was both inaccurate and deeply unfortunate.
He emphasised that Voice of Nigeria aligns with the historic moment, as Super Falcons mounted a courageous comeback to defeat hosts Morocco 3–2, securing a record-extending tenth WAFCON title and affirming their place at the pinnacle of African women’s football .
While initial reviews pointed to an internal lapse, we are also investigating the possibility of a security breach or identity theft through hacking, which may have contributed to this disturbing development, Ndace stated.
The DG further stressed that apart from ongoing internal reforms, VON has also undertaken strategic staff redeployments to enhance accountability, build resilience, and boost editorial efficiency across its platforms.
