The trending story that the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo’s security details exchanged gunfire with unknown gunmen is fake news,our reporter can confirm authoritatively.
The post currently trending on various social media platforms said “People, including women scamper for safety at Ebonyi Airport as Unknown Gunmen attacked Osibanjo’s Security as he stepped down Ebonyi State”.
However, Our Reporter reliably gathered that the report is fake and only happened in the imagination of the promoters.
A journalist in Ebonyi who is among the team that covered the Vice president’s visit said nothing of such happened.
“I was with the team when the Vice president visited the airport and I can confirm to you that nothing of such happened. I was there when the vice president entered his vehicle and nothing of such happened.”
We have also obtained the real image of the Vice president at the airport which doesn’t in any way, show the fake report currently trending on social media..
