Lagos to prosecute X user over false flood video

The Lagos State Government announced legal proceedings against an X user identified as "Enugu Loudspeaker" for sharing a misleading flood video falsely claimed to be in Lagos. Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources Tokunbo Wahab stated that the video was actually from Bangladesh and that deleting the post after it was debunked would not halt prosecution. Wahab emphasized that freedom of expression must be exercised responsibly within legal limits. The user acknowledged the footage originated outside Nigeria and removed the post, but the government insists on pursuing legal action for deliberate dissemination of false information.
