TikTok Bans Liberian Influencer For Spreading Fake News About Osinbajo’s Daughter

A Liberian TikTok content creator identified as @Realcharley22 has been banned by the social media platform for spreading fake news about the daughter of the vice president of Nigeria, Kiki Osinbajo.

The TikTok influencer had posted earlier in the week that Kiki was arrested in the United Kingdom because she was in possession of large amount of money in dollars.

Although the user, who posted photos and videos to support the claim, had since come out to refute the news after Nigerian blogger, Tunde Ednut, posted that it was untrue.

Consequently, Nigerians in their numbers rushed to report the page for deceiving the public, and checks on the page on Saturday revealed that the account was no longer on TikTok.

@Realcharley22 barely 24 hours after sharing the false video, shared another video apologizing to Kiki and Nigerians for the post saying his source confused the lady in the video for Kiki.

He said, “I want to apologize to Kiki Osinbajo because she never got arrested. The story is not true and my source deceived me and took someone else as Kiki.

“I want to make a disclaimer on the video I posted earlier, I am so sorry, my followers and Kiki Osinbajo, she never got arrested.”
