Xenophobia: Nigerian govt. warns against fake news
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said videos being circulated purportedly showing how Nigerians are being killed in South Africa are fake and misleading.
“This is fake news as the video is that of a Suraj Coaching Centre in Gujarat State, India, that was gutted by fire on May 24, 2019, leaving about 18 people dead. “Words have meaning, and wrong words are like poisoned darts in the words of the Buddha, better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace,” he said.
