Lagos Commissioner for Environment vows to pursue legal action against X user who shared false information about flooding in Lagos
The Lagos Commissioner for Environment plans to sue a social media user for sharing false flooding information. This legal action aims to combat misinformation and protect public safety during the rainy season.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunboh Wahab, says legal action will be taken against an X-user who shared a false post about flooding in Lagos State.
The X-user shared a video of a flooded city and claimed it happened in Lagos State.
After he was called out by the Commissioner, the X-User deleted the video and acknowledged his mistake via his X handle.
Responding, Wahab said taking the video down doesn't absolve the X-user and that legal actions will be taken accordingly.
