I reacted very strongly after that. It didn\u2019t stop and I was forced again to issue a statement denying it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought that would have been the end of it, but not long afterwards, it started coming back again and I\u2019m worried and concerned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to again deny in the strongest terms and send a message to everybody to disregard the statements. It is not fair; it is not just. It is very sinful for you to create something from nowhere and attribute it to an innocent person who doesn\u2019t know anything about it. I have nothing to do with that message.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my strongest denial. Everybody should please disregard the statement. It is not from me; it is not true. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/10\/02\/video-ufc-star-israel-adesanya-in-furious-outburst-at-fans-who-beg-him-to-follow-them-on-social-media\/\">Social media<\/a> is, today, partly responsible for what is going on in our country by trying to promote things that are not true and creating division based on religion and ethnicity, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are not being fair to us, and I think the government has a duty and a responsibility to take action; nobody else can do it. As private citizens, we have limited capacity to take action; government has to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ribadu also said social media companies must intensify the fight against fake news.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSocial media companies also have a role to play, I don\u2019t see any reason why Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram<br \/>\nwill allow such a damaging statement to go out against somebody without stopping it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though I had denied it and so many persons in the same situation did, WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter still allowed it to be moving around from one platform to the other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a believer of freedom of expression; a strong and a firm believer in the ability of people to be free. But at the same time, be responsible. If it is going to cause harm to others, then you lose that freedom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a victim, and I don\u2019t know why people are doing it. It\u2019s as if I\u2019m a target of something which I don\u2019t know. But I have really suffered because of it; I have a couple of friends and colleagues who also went through the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu has stated that social media is &#8220;partly responsible&#8221; for the country&#8217;s problems.
