Alleged Failed Suicide Bomb Attack On Arik Flight, Aviation Minister Says It ‘Is Absolutely False’

Unfounded stories such as this is what necessitated the call for social media censorship in Nigeria by certain government officials. There is no denying the limitless advantage of social media especially in a democracy such as ours but when that innate advantage is used to spread fear and peddle false stories capable of doing irreversible damage, then, there should be caution.

Over the last couple of hours, the internet has been awash with rumors of a failed suicide bomb attempt on an Abuja bound flight from Maiduguri. In a move to dispel the rumor and put the mind of air travellers at ease, Nigeria’s Aviation Minister, Princess Stella Oduah has said ‘there is no iota of truth to this rumour whatsoever’.
