Lagos govt accuses influencers of circulating false flood images

The Lagos State Government, led by Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources Tokunbo Wahab, has accused certain individuals—particularly social media influencers and bloggers—of spreading false flood-related imagery to create a misleading narrative. Wahab claimed these individuals are using inaccurate photos from other states and countries, such as Ghana, to imply that Lagos is experiencing similar conditions, thereby advancing a 'destructive narrative.' He emphasized that this behavior undermines genuine efforts to address environmental challenges in Lagos and encourages irresponsible sharing of unverified content. The commissioner specifically criticized an X user named @Hhonor_ for posting a photo of a flood in Accra and labeling it as occurring in Lagos, suggesting it was intended to discredit current leadership. Wahab stressed the importance of verifying information before sharing it online and urged responsible public discourse.
