No explosion at South African High Commission — Nigerian govt
In a statement issued in Abuja, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said the report “is fake news orchestrated by desperate opposition to cause panic and chaos among the populace”.Mr Mohammed said the video of the purported bomb explosion was that of a bomb explosion at Emab Plaza, near Banex, Abuja, which occurred on June 25, 2014.
“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.“On Friday Sept. 6, 2019, they doctored and circulated the video of my appearance on Channels Television in January 2015 to make it look like I was begging Nigerians to forgive President Buhari for not having a school certificate.
The minister appealed to Nigerians to be very discerning at this time, and to check the veracity of any information they received.
