A viral social media post by Today Liberia TV, a blog with over 233, 000 Facebook followers, has sparked widespread discussion after alleging that Nigeria’ s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has withdrawn the country’ s embassy from the United States (US).
The online platform further claimed that President Tinubu had removed Nigeria from the American stock exchange, shut down ” the Abuja State House in Washington DC, ” and blocked crude oil sales to the US.
According to the post, these alleged actions were taken in response to the US President, Donald Trump’ s supposed deportation of Nigerians and other ” illegal immigrants. ”
Since being published, the claim has gained significant attention on Facebook, attracting over 620 shares, more than 1, 700 comments, and over 2, 700 reactions. Many social media users expressed shock, while others questioned the authenticity of the report.
The full post reads: ” Breaking News: President Tinubu pulled Nigeria from U. S. stocks, withdrew Nigeria’ s embassy from the U. S. , blocked the sale of oil to the United States, and closed the Abuja State House in Washington, D. C. , in response to Trump’ s travel ban on #Nigerians. #nigeria. ”
Fact- Check: Is The Claim True?
A thorough investigation by Legit. ng found no credible media report confirming any of the claims made by Today Liberia TV. There is no evidence that President Tinubu has withdrawn Nigeria’ s embassy from the US, nor is there any indication that Nigeria has blocked crude oil sales to the country.
Furthermore, Nigeria does not have an ” Abuja State House” in Washington DC, making this part of the claim entirely misleading.
