The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has reacted to a report being circulated on social media about the purported death of Mahmood Yakubu, its National Chairman.

The Commission described the report as fake news.

Urban Express News Online reports that reports claiming that Yakubu died in a London hospital have been making the rounds in social media.

The story first appeared on Monday, 9th December 2024.

“We hereby appeal to the public to disregard the rumour. Prof. Yakubu is alive, hale and hearty. He has not travelled to London in the last two years,” a statement signed by Mr Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, said.

“He was present at an interactive meeting with the House of Representatives Committee on Electoral Matters on Wednesday, 11th December 2024.

“He also chaired the Commission’s meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners on Thursday, 12th December 2024.

“Both events were widely covered on television and reported on the front pages of most newspapers yesterday, Friday 13th December 2024.

“The public may recall that mischief-makers on social media carried a similar fake story in 2021. Three years later, they are spreading the same rumour again.

“Those who indulge in this practice, as well as those who spread it, should be mindful of its effect not only on the individual but also the wider society.

“The Commission will continue to work with genuine media professionals to combat the scourge of fake news and the danger it poses to society.”
