Bauchi State Government denies a viral social media claim that it has approved a ₦1,500 dowry policy for divorced women. According to reports, the state government says the circulating information is false and misleading and urges residents to disregard it. The government also warns the public against sharing or acting on unverified claims online. Both outlets report that officials have not confirmed any such policy and that the figure being promoted on social media does not reflect an approved state directive. The government’s position is that the claim has no basis in official policy and should be treated as misinformation. Residents are advised to rely on credible sources and verified announcements rather than social media posts. The denial comes as the claim spreads online, prompting the state to clarify that no approval has been made for any dowry arrangement at the stated amount. The government’s warning focuses on preventing further confusion and discouraging the circulation of fake news.
