PRESIDENT BUHARI EXPRESSES MISINFORMATION WORSENING INSECURITY

President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed misinformation has been used to aggravate conflicts, exacerbate insecurity, distort government efforts, fuel apprehension among the citizens and create distrust between the governments and their peoples.
