Our apology

We erroneously published a spoof statement that purportedly emanated from the Nigerian presidency.

Editor’s Note: We have deleted the content of this page after learning that the presidency did not issue the statement we published.

Those behind the false information had cloned official communication channels to distribute it. It was a rendition of a 2019 statement from the presidency.

We sincerely apologise to our readers.
