Arise News Cuts Ties with Analyst Anthony Kila Over Allegations
Arise News has officially stated that Anthony Kila, a freelance political analyst who has frequently appeared on their network, will no longer be featured following serious allegations regarding the falsification of his academic credentials. On 03 October 2026, Arise News contacted Kila to address these allegations, but he requested additional time to respond.
Despite this, Kila did not provide a response within the subsequent ten days, and the allegations reportedly worsened. In light of these developments and the findings from an investigative report by Premium Times Newspapers, Arise News determined that Kila's contributions to their channel were no longer tenable.
The network emphasized that they were unaware of these allegations at the time of Kila's appearances and underscored their commitment to credibility and integrity in their programming. Consequently, Kila will not appear on Arise News at any time in the future, effective immediately.
