“Confirm Authenticity Of Information Before Posting As False Info Could Set Country Ablaze” – Yul Edochie urges Nigerians ahead of elections
Yul Edochie, a Nollywood actor, has encouraged Nigerians to verify election-related news before posting anything online.
The director of the film said on the microblogging site Twitter that many people disseminated information on social media without verifying its validity or source, especially during election seasons.
According to Yul Edochie, a lot of false information was spread online because people stayed at home and created stories to share online.
Ahead of the governorship polls, he has cautioned Nigerians to refrain from such actions.
He tweeted;
“Any information you see about the election, pls confirm the authenticity before you post or repost. So much fake news flying around. Some people sit in their homes, create stuff & post it as news. Such could set our country ablaze. Pls, verify before posting or reposting.”
