Lai Mohammed debunks ‘fake news’ on Buhari travel

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has denied reports that the President, Muhammadu Buhari, has traveled to the US, saying it is false.

According to him in a statement, news of the President’s travel was attributed to a parody twitter account created in President Buhari’s name and was falsely reported as actually being President Buhari.

Mohammed thus urged Nigerians to disregard the fake news along with an old NTA news video showing that Buhari is travelling or has travelled to the US.

“This is a 2015 NTA News video that was repackaged to look current, and to give the impression that the President left Daura, where he is celebrating Eid-el-Kabir, directly for New York,” Mohammed said.
