The Senate has directed the National Security Adviser (NSA) to investigate fake reports circulating about the health of the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio.
The resolution was adopted on Tuesday during plenary following a point of order raised by Senator Titus Zam, who drew attention to false reports on media platforms alleging that Akpabio suffered a health emergency and was rushed to a hospital in London.
Zam described the misinformation as unacceptable and called for those responsible to be identified and prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others.
Responding while presiding over the plenary, Akpabio lamented the growing difficulty in regulating media content, particularly reports concerning politicians, and described some publications on online platforms as āgarbage in, garbage out,ā highlighting the difficulty in curbing falsehoods.
This development follows recent online rumors alleging Akpabioās collapse and hospitalization, which his aides have firmly denied as āfake news.ā
