LAGOS WARNS AGAINST PANIC VIDEOS

The Lagos State Government and the State Police Command have warned residents, platforms against spreading videos that fuel fear and endanger public safety. It is criminal to send such videos, the police said.

The warning came during a virtual panel session hosted on the social media space Ask Lagos on X, titled "Abuse of Social Media: How to stay safe" . The discussion featured the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, @gbenga_omo, and the Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, @AbimbolaShotayo

*Viral Videos Debunked*

Omotoso said that for two to three days, his office and security agencies were flooded with messages from citizens trying to verify disturbing clips circulating online.

“The police debunk a viral video claiming an incident occurred in Ikorodu, clarifying that the footage was actually three years old,” Omotoso said. “Another video alleged terrorist activities within a local government area, which the police also disproved.”

The Commissioner warned that sharing such content creates fear among residents and compromises security operations. He added that media reports revealing specific anti-kidnapping strategies, such as tactical rescue plans, endanger troops and help criminals to infiltrate ranks.

“Starving terrorists of publicity is key,” Omotoso said. “In some countries, journalists refused to give terrorists a platform. But some social media users here actively amplify criminal propaganda. We must keep criminals in the dark rather than inflating their egos through online visibility.”

*Ibeju-Lekki Incident Clarified*

Addressing a recent scare in Ibeju-Lekki, SP Abimbola Adebisi said panic started after residents raised alarm over a large influx of unidentified individuals.

“Local police and area commanders acted proactively. We brought the individuals to the station for profiling and searched their residences,” Adebisi explained. “We found no incriminating items or weapons on them.”

However, false rumors had already spread online claiming that armed individuals were launching an attack. Adebisi confirmed the fake news led to tragedy. “This misinformation incited some community members to violently attack a young boy, resulting in his death.”

She noted that while police cannot restrict constitutional freedom of movement, the Commissioner of Police has ordered massive deployment and increased police visibility in identified black spots.

*Citizens Demand Influencer Accountability*

Callers to the space urged government to engage celebrities and influencers who shape public thought, suggesting inviting top influencers to educate them on the real-world panic caused by unverified posts.

Other contributors raised concerns over unchecked inflows of commercial motorcycle riders and cart-pushing scavengers. Omotoso acknowledged that some scavengers have been caught stealing public infrastructure like bridge railings and streetlamps. “Some residents patronize them to avoid paying official waste management fees, effectively creating security vulnerabilities,” he said.

Media accountability was also questioned, with commenters criticizing traditional journalists who air unverified breaking news that recently caused parents to panic-withdraw children from schools.

*Legal Consequences for Fake News*

Adebisi reminded the public that the Cybercrime Law prescribes clear penalties for spreading disinformation. “Convicted individuals face up to three years of imprisonment, a fine of seven million Naira, or both,” she said.

Both Omotoso and Adebisi stated that while the government respects free speech, it will explore legal options to track and block handles that intentionally destabilize the state for engagement farming or political sabotage.

And you didn't add drink to it?

This insecurity had just started at the time. I think the Unknown Gunmen were terrorizing the East then, so we were supposed to travel together. He bought a flight ticket for himself and sent me money to book a GiG ticket. Instead, I used the money to buy fish and shawarma

@Orifunke The OWNER of the wedding day is the Bride (and Groom)! Reading this story again, I see how emphasis was placed on "older" and "younger". It made me realize that this bad behavior where the "younger" cannot speak truth to the "older" is still a real cultural problem. So sad

[TBOG @iamTBOG]

@Orifunke Speak cleansing over it ma

[The Force! @Orifunke]

Dear X,

I am deeply honoured to share that I have been nominated for the JCI Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the Year Award (TOYP), screened and verified by KPMG, in the Academic Leadership or Accomplishment Category.

This recognition means more than a title. It is a reflection of every community I've built, every learning space I've created, every young person I've encouraged to own their seat, and every young person I've equipped with tools to lead.

From founding the Orifunke Lawal Academy and Rooms and Roundtables, to serving in public governance and championing women's empowerment through the Winning Ladies Circle/Lady with Balls, my journey has always been about people and systems.

Public voting is now open and I would truly appreciate your support. Please take a moment to vote for me and share with your networks as well. Every vote means a lot.

@Orifunke Says more about who they are and the content of their heart. We complain a lot about people who have no regard for life in this nation. We see them on X daily. I pray that person encounters God and understands the value of life. So sad.

Perhaps, read it again and maybe you'll see that the message wasn't recent and the vendor indeed understands privacy.

This happened to me last week. Phew!

[The Force! @Orifunke]

I am meticulous and pay serious attention to details! But last week, I missed something on a document. I felt so horrible when I discovered because usually, when 'Funke has read the document, it is good to go. Felt so so horrible. But you're human. Give yourself grace.

[TBOG @iamTBOG]

@Asklasg HC you can go ahead sir

[Lady B - IYALODE OF X @mobola_ade]

My name is Zainab. I’m 27 years old. An SS.

That is, I live with sickle cell disease.
My parents are both AS.

Oh, they They knew.
They were told.
They still married.

They said God approved it. They said love would be enough. They said faith would cover the consequences.

I am the consequence.

I was diagnosed before I was two. My childhood memories are not playgrounds or cartoons,they are; hospitals, needles, and adults whispering when they thought I couldn’t hear.

In primary school, I missed classes so often that teachers stopped asking why. Some classmates thought I was pretending. Some thought I was cursed. I learned early how to smile while feeling different.

By secondary school, the pain episodes became more frequent. I would wake up excited for school and end the day on a hospital bed. I watched my mates grow normally while my life moved in pauses, school, hospital, recovery, repeat.

At 15, I lost my younger brother to sickle cell.
We were both SS.

That day changed me forever.

My parents broke down in front of me — crying, apologizing, saying “We followed faith. We didn’t think…”
But the damage had already been done.

Sometimes I forgive them.
Sometimes I resent them deeply.
Both feelings live in me.

In university, I tried to be normal. I joined sickle cell advocacy groups, volunteered with awareness organizations, spoke at events, encouraged parents to test their genotype. People call me strong. They call me a warrior.

What they don’t see is me crying alone at night after another silent pain episode.
They don’t see the fear that comes with planning a future in a body that doesn’t always cooperate.

And Relationships?
That’s another wound.

I’ve been loved… briefly.
The moment conversations turn serious about marriage, children, commitment….they leave. Some are honest. Some ghost me. Some promise forever and disappear quietly.

One man once said he would do anything for me. He talked about taking me abroad, better care, a life without fear. I believed him. For the first time, my heart rested.

Then one day, he stopped calling.

That heartbreak triggered one of the worst crises I’ve had as an adult. Not because of physical stress but because hope collapsed.

Now I’m older. The pain episodes come differently. Less dramatic, but more exhausting. My body recovers slower. My fears are heavier. I ask myself questions my parents never asked each other.

I am strong, yes.
But I am tired.

If you are AS and the person you love is AS, please love your unborn children enough to stop and think. Faith is not a license to ignore knowledge. I am a proof to that

I didn’t ask to be a lesson.
But if my life can prevent another child from being born into avoidable pain, then my voice matters.

That’s why I’m writing this to you. Because people listens to you and this story needs to be heard. I hope that your audience share this till it reaches those who are about to walk by faith and not by sight, Sickle Cell is real!.

Adeyinka, keep rescuing lives, I love how you raise awareness and say the truth unapologetically, those who do not like you are probably those who wish they could be you. Have you met you?. Oh,I see you Queen Ade💪🏻
