Senate has asked the National Security Adviser to investigate fake reports circulated on the health of Nigeria's President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio. This resolution was adopted Tuesday at plenary following a point of order raised by Senator Titus Zam referencing fake reports circulated on media platforms that the President of the Senate suffered a health emergency and was rushed to a hospital in London. Senator Zam says such misinformation is unacceptable and urged that those responsible should be fished out and made to face the law to serve as deterrent. In his response, the President of the Senate who presided at plenary said it was becoming increasingly difficult to regulate what the media publishes, particularly as it relates to politicians, describing contents on some platforms as "garbage in garbage out".
