476 Websites Attacking Buhari – Lai Mohammed
According to the federal government, 476 websites have been created to spread false information against President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration.
Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information, stated this on Monday when meeting with officials from the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR).
Mohammed lamented the newest bogus publication about Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari’s mental state.
“Recently, we disclosed nearly 476 publication sites committed to pumping out fake news on a daily basis to combat the government,” he stated.
According to the platforms, when Buhari was last in the UK, he was encouraged to resign because he couldn’t recognize family members.
The minister went on to say that translators are well aware of the public’s gullibility and will use this to spread false information.
He cautioned that unconfirmed information was taking on a new dimension and posing a threat to the country’s existence.
Mohammed asked the NIPR to perform its part in the fight against fake news by actively participating.
