The rise of social media has seen the spread of fake news escalate and everyone (individuals and brands) have to be careful in their reportage of events – verification is highly important.
On Thursday, Lauretta Onochie, social media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari tweeted a photo of an ongoing road project, with the caption: “Nasarawa – Jos Road BUHARI AGAIN!!! Sai Baba.”
A Twitter user noticed it and shared a photo of the stock image which costs $12 alongside Onochie’s tweet.
Onochie went on to apologise, saying it won’t happen again.
