Media personality Joey Muthengi has claimed that her Instagram account has been hacked.

After taking over Joey Muthengi’s Instagram handle, the hacker went ahead and started enticing a few of her followers with lucrative money deals. In the hope of that he/she will be able to swindle money from the unsuspecting targets.

Muthengi got wind of the situation in time and put out a post warning her followers to beware of whoever inboxes them pretending to be her.

“Hey friends, it appears my account has been compromised/hacked. Please do not agree to any seemingly lucrative deals on my behalf. I will open a new account soon. I hope you will follow me there. All the hugs.” She warned.

Muthengi went on to state that she was not in a million years going to pay for a bribe for what was hers. She added that whoever the person behind the hacking was had won.

"Whoever you are, you won. I hope this helps you sleep at night. Take the account. I pray it brings you Coro…I mean… happiness. I will not pay a bribe for that which is mine…not in this lifetime," read her post.
