Arise News Bans Analyst Anthony Kila Over Credential Claims
Arise News Channel has announced that Anthony Kila, a freelance political analyst, will no longer appear on the network due to allegations that he falsified his academic credentials. This decision follows a damning investigative report by Premium Times Newspapers.
On October 3, 2026, Arise News contacted Kila regarding these allegations, but he requested additional time to respond. Ten days later, Kila had not provided a response, and the network stated that the allegations had worsened.
Consequently, Arise News determined that Kila's contributions to the channel were no longer tenable. The network emphasized that it was unaware of the allegations at the time Kila appeared on its platform and takes issues of credibility and integrity very seriously.
The decision is effective immediately, and Kila will not appear on the network at any time in the future.
