Lagos State Government accuses social media influencers of circulating misleading flood images online, saying some posts falsely attribute flood pictures from other parts of Nigeria and from abroad to Lagos. The government says it has noticed a pattern of such image sharing and warns the public against treating unverified content as official information. In its statements, Lagos also raises concerns that the misleading posts may be used to politicise environmental issues. The government’s position is that information about flooding in Lagos should be verified before being shared and that misleading narratives can create confusion among residents. The report notes that the accusations focus on the spread of false or out-of-context images rather than on any specific individual case. The Lagos government’s warning is framed as a call for responsible sharing and verification, amid ongoing public attention to flooding and flood responses.
