Scammers Posing as LIRS Officers Hijack My Tax Portal Password

I received a call from someone claiming to be from the Lagos Internal Revenue Service. They said I owed back taxes and asked me to log in and settle the balance. When I followed their instructions, the caller somehow accessed my account, reset my password and sent the new credentials via WhatsApp. This feels like a serious invasion of privacy and raises fears of misconduct or extortion. I managed to log in with my original password just two days before. I’m now worried about how they breached my account and what official or legal steps I can take to report this incident.
