Nigerian Senate Orders Probe into Fake Health Reports on Senate President Akpabio

The Nigerian Senate has instructed the National Security Adviser (NSA) to probe fake health reports circulating about Senate President Godswill Akpabio. This directive came after Senator Titus Zam (Benue North West) raised concerns about false reports alleging Akpabio's health emergency in London.

Akpabio criticized the challenges of regulating media content, particularly false reports concerning politicians. The Senate denounced the spread of misinformation and called for identifying and prosecuting those responsible for spreading fake news.
