Arise News Bans Analyst Anthony Kila Over Credential Fraud
Arise News Channel has blacklisted Anthony Kila and permanently barred him from appearing on its network due to allegations that he falsified his academic credentials. The decision was announced in a disclaimer from the Editorial Board on October 13, 2026.
Kila, who had frequently appeared as a freelance political analyst, was at the center of controversy regarding the authenticity of his qualifications. Following an investigation by PREMIUM TIMES, Arise News contacted Kila on October 3, 2026, regarding the allegations.
Kila requested additional time to respond but did not provide an explanation ten days later. The Editorial Board stated that the allegations had worsened, leading to the conclusion that Kila's contributions to the channel were no longer tenable.
Consequently, Arise News declared an immediate and indefinite severance of its relationship with Kila, stating he would not be allowed to return to its platforms in the future.
