Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has revealed that he almost got into marriage crisis following some recent fake news about him’

Speaking at a BBC symposium on fake news tagged, ‘Nigeria 2019: Countering Fake News’, in Abuja on Wednesday,Osinbajo said a blog put up a picture depicting him posing with strippers.

The Vice-President lamented the negative effect of fake news, adding that it even put him in some trouble with his wife recently.

According to him, the girls in the photo appeared unclad but he had indeed taken a picture with the women at an entertainment event and they were fully clothed.

He said the blogger picked a photo of where the women were not fully clothed and presented it to the public wrongly.

Osinbajo said;

“I have been one of the targets of fake news. It can also sometimes cause you marital peace. I got a call from my wife about three or four weeks ago and she said Yemi what are you doing with strippers and I said what do you mean by strippers? So, I read a story in a famous blog that said, ‘Osinbajo caught with strippers’.
