In recent social media posts on the Facebook page “Igbo Times Magazine,” claims have emerged suggesting that Yoruba people are attacking Igbos in their homes in Lagos due to the ongoing controversy surrounding Bola Tinubu’s educational credentials. The Explainer Fact Checker has thoroughly examined these claims to determine their validity and provide accurate information.
To verify the claim, the Explainer Fact Checker conducted a comprehensive search for credible media reports or official statements supporting the allegation. However, no verifiable sources were found that could substantiate the claim of interethnic violence targeting Igbos in relation to the Tinubu certificate saga. Furthermore, there have been reports from various media outlets indicating a peaceful and calm situation in Lagos State during the relevant period.
Additionally, the claim lacks crucial details, such as specific locations and dates of the alleged attacks, as well as the identities of witnesses or sources cited. The Explainer Fact Checker also subjected the attached image to a Google reverse image search, which yielded no relevant results.
Based on the investigation conducted by the Explainer Fact Checker, there is no evidence to support the claim that Yoruba people are currently attacking Igbos in their homes in Lagos due to the Tinubu certificate saga. The lack of credible media reports, official statements, and specific details surrounding the alleged incidents raises doubts about the accuracy of the claim.
The claim of interethnic violence in Lagos, targeting Igbos and linked to the ongoing Tinubu certificate saga, is False and misleading.
