Gwamna petitions IGP, seeks INTERPOL probe over alleged fake news campaign
The petition reportedly urged the police to obtain subscriber information, IP logs and other digital evidence from Meta Platforms, identify those responsible for the alleged campaign, prosecute anyone found culpable and facilitate the removal of the disputed publications.
Sources familiar with the petition said Gwamna requested an investigation by the Nigeria Police National Cybercrime Centre, with the involvement of INTERPOL, following intelligence indicating that some of those behind the alleged online attacks may be operating from outside Nigeria.
Supporters of the APC candidate expressed confidence that the investigation would identify those responsible for the alleged smear campaign and maintained that voters would ultimately assess candidates based on their competence, integrity and vision for the state.
