Dear Followers,

My Twitter handle has been hacked.

Please could you pin this post on to your Twitter handles so that folks are not conned.

I didn’t tweet the message attached, it is the hacker.

I will announce when I am in control of my Twitter handle.
I have written to Twitter to alert them.

Thank you.
