Civil Societies Conference Raises Alarm Over Fake News and Blackmail

The Conference of Civil Societies has expressed grave concerns over the resurgence of fake news and alleged blackmail targeting government and non-government officials. The aim of these malicious activities is to cause unrest and harassment, according to the conference.

Chairman Adams Otakwu addressed the issue during a roundtable session with stakeholders, announcing the launch of a National Fake News Tracker to combat the problem. The tracker is designed to monitor and address the spread of false information, which has had a significant impact.

Additionally, Otakwu emphasized that the conference will not condone the resurgence of fake news targeting government officials, stressing the need for collective action to prevent the spread of misinformation. The National Fake News Tracker is a crucial step in this direction, providing a platform for reporting and verifying the authenticity of news.

Consequently, the group promised to continue representing the interest of the public through advocacy and would not allow fake news to thrive and tarnish the image of government at all levels. By taking a strong stance against fake news and blackmail, the Conference of Civil Societies aims to promote fact-based information and protect individuals from harassment and intimidation.
