Highlife star Bisa Kdei has revealed the lengths he went to in an effort to regain his former Facebook account which was hacked after he gained over 1m followers on it.

The hackers took over the account and used it to post links to stories they wanted to generate traffic for, leading to the star eventually abandoning the page and forming a new one.

But Bisa Kdei has revealed to Zionfelix that he tried numerous measures to get his account back, including travelling to Facebook’s headquarters in Silicon Valley, all to no avail. He tried at the UK offices too during a trip to the Kingdom but neither branch could help him.

Frustrated, he contacted the hacker but was asked to pay $3,000 for him to have his account back. He said he did not pay because he could not afford it.
