Buhari’s aide criticized for lying about woman who was attacked in Lagos

Nigerians have criticized Ajuri Ngelale, the media advisor to President Muhammadu Buhari, for making false claims in an interview with CNN regarding the lady who was attacked in Lagos during the recently concluded election

Remember how Jennifer Efidi's account of being attacked at a Surulere polling place on Saturday during the state's presidential election got viral

In a CNN interview, Ajuri falsely claimed that Jennifer was assaulted in the South East, a region where the Labour Party's (LP) Peter Obi won handily.

Nigerians exposed the falsehood and called him out on Twitter.
