Circulating Safety tips on rainstorm is fake, NOA warns

By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

The Director General of the National Orientation Agency, (NOA) Dr. Garba Abari has warned the public to beware of a fake public alert on safety tips during rainstorm.
Abari said that the safety tips on rainstorm circulating on the social media was not issued by the agency as the public is made to believe.
In a statement issued by NOA, signed by Paul Odenyi, Assistant Director, Press, read, the Agency would want to make it clear that the alert on safety tips was not issued by the Agency and does not allign with our operational procedure. “Our procedure require that relevant government Agencies issue a warning and seek NOA”s intervention to take to a wider public.

“The notice itself does not conform with known scientific evidence on safety during rainstorm and therefore misleading” he added.

NOA therefore appeals to Nigerians to ignore the message as it is the handiwork of merchants of fake news for which the Agency has committed man hour and resources to preach against.

The NOA boss urged all Nigerians to join the fight against fake news and hate speech.
