Arise Television has apologized to the presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The TV station issued an apology after it reported that INEC
has commenced an investigation into a case of criminal forfeiture against
Tinubu.
The TV station also publicized a forged letter claiming that
INEC was investigating allegations that will ultimately lead to the
disqualification of the APC Presidential candidate.
But in a retraction on Sunday morning, the Management of
Arise TV apologized for the fake report after INEC publicly dismissed it as
fake.
The station said: “Of criminal forfeiture of funds, linked
to narcotics, smuggling conspiracy and money laundering against the
presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we
Arise News that carried the news, which is now been denied by after the
Independent National Electoral Commission INEC and we apologize most sincerely
to the APC presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the earlier broadcast.”
INEC in a statement by its National Commissioner and
Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, described
the report as the handiwork of mischief makers.
