It all started last week and trust social media, it began to spread like "wild fire". I thought it puerile until I saw the composed refutation by the presidency. President Buhari's death fabrication by some London based news websites is what am talking about. One of the websites published that President Buhari had died in London Hospital. Everybody thought the news from a Nigeria website "metronew" not knowing it emanated from a UK website: METRO-UK.COM.
The Presidency was quick to dispel the reports as false, confirming that Buhari is hale and hearty.
But, investigations have revealed that the domain of ”Metro-uk.com” was registered in the USA by a company that also owns ”Huffingtonpost-fm.com” – that published President Buhari committing suicide. On Wednesday afternoon, huffingtonpost-fm.com reported that “Nigeria President’s security tightened after attempting Suicide”.
The fake metro report
The two fake websites are operated by the same company.
The same picture of Buhari was used in both stories, and the line “The President’s decision to receive medical care in a foreign land has angered some of his countrymen” was repeated word-for-word.
The owners of the two sites are listed as WILD WEST DOMAINS on whois.domaintools.com. The sites were registered in Arizona, United States.
“Huffington” was registered on November 19, 2016, and “Metro” on October 25, 2016.
I would like to know those wishing the president dead, Some were already rejoicing after that publication on Metro-UK.
Another pertinent question to ask, Is our President truely hale and hearty? Why has he not appeared on camera since that allegation not to talk of addressing the Nigerian people?
These questions and many others are begging for presidential answers.
