Wike Urges Falana to Verify Facts Before Commenting

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), addressed human rights lawyer Femi Falana during a meeting with journalists at the Presidential Villa. Wike urged Falana to verify facts before making comments on issues, specifically referencing Falana's remarks about the curfew imposed in Abuja ahead of the recently concluded area council polls.

Wike emphasized that not every situation requires public commentary and expressed that Falana should focus on understanding the facts before speaking out. He defended the curfew, stating it was approved by the President to ensure security and prevent any potential unrest, particularly from hoodlums.

Wike's comments reflect a broader concern regarding the responsibility of public figures to verify information before making public statements.
