Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja
The Presidency on Friday raised concerns over the media reports of the recent killings in Benue State.
Briefing State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said many media organisations are guilty of promoting hate speech with the way they have been reporting the attack.
He said the disturbing trend was not restricted to news stories but also columns.
“We want to state emphatically that a segment of the Nigerian media is sinking deeper and deeper into the mess of hate speech in spite of repeated appeals by recognised and reputable media bodies, the Government and concerned Nigerians,” he said.
