ARISE News Suspends Analyst Anthony Kila Over Fraud Claims
ARISE News announced the immediate suspension of political analyst Anthony Kila from its platforms due to allegations of academic credential forgery. This decision was made following an investigative report by Premium Times that questioned Kila's professorial title and reported discrepancies in his claimed bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and professorial qualifications.
On October 3, 2026, ARISE News contacted Kila to seek his response to these allegations, but he requested more time to reply. Ten days later, Kila had not responded, prompting ARISE News to take note of the investigation's findings and to cease featuring him on its platforms.
The network stated it was unaware of the allegations when Kila appeared on its programs as a freelance political analyst and emphasized its commitment to credibility and integrity.
