The presidency has warned citizens with discerning minds that a viral video showing some gruesome images of killings may not be factual.
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Garba Shehu, said expert agencies are now verifying the factuality and veracity of the claims that accompany the horrible pictures being circulated in the media.
According to him: “We call on all citizens to avoid hasty steps or conclusions that could exacerbate the situation, and on the contrary keep to a line of conduct that will help the law to take its proper course.
“The Presidency also cautions the public against the indiscriminate sharing of posts on social media so as to deny vested interests who seek to divide us and create disturbance the chance to do so.
