'A pattern is emerging of the antics of the desperate opposition to latch on to the use of fake news and disinformation as a strategy to trigger chaos in the country.' Nigeria LaiMohammed Abuja
The Federal Government, yesterday, debunked reports of a bomb explosion, at the South African High Commission, in Abuja, which circulated on social media.
He alleged that the video of the purported bomb explosion, which made the rounds was that of the bomb explosion that rocked Emab Plaza, near Banex, in Abuja, on June 25, 2014. ‘’Unfortunately for them, this doctored video came out on the same day a report emerged that the PDP had sent lawyers and party agents to the University of Cambridge to confirm the authenticity of the President’s West African school certificate, only to be stunned to discover that not only did the President write the examination.
‘’This is just the beginning. Nigerians should expect an explosion of fake news and disinformation in the days and weeks ahead. This is because the desperation of this opposition is alarming. But their strategy will fail, just like every other dubious strategy that they have been employing in their desperate bid to grab power,’’ he said.
