- The department dismissed the image as misleading and urged the public to avoid spreading false narratives and misinformation.
The Department of Mass Communication at UNN has denied claims that student Ifeme Rebecca Yahoma (Becky) was dishonest about her relationship status following her outing with YouTuber Asherkine.
After the content creator treated Becky to an expensive shopping spree, a photo surfaced online showing her with a man alleged to be her boyfriend.
The department dismissed the image as misleading and urged the public to avoid spreading false narratives and misinformation.
“Our attention has been drawn to a series of viral posts circulating across Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Facebook. These posts falsely claim that our student, Ifeme Rebecca Yahoma (Becky), denied having a boyfriend due to the recent visit of celebrity guest Asherkine to UNN.”
“We wish to categorically state that these claims are entirely false, defamatory, and malicious.”
“After a thorough investigation, we can confirm that the viral photo was heavily photoshopped and circulated by a certain Mr. Kenny, who falsely claims to be her boyfriend. His actions are a calculated attempt to tarnish her image, amounting to defamation and character assassination.”
“As a department that upholds truth, integrity, and the dignity of individuals, we find this behavior unacceptable and condemn it in the strongest terms.
“Becky remains a respected and valued member of our department, and we will not stand by while her reputation is being attacked with falsehoods.”
“We urge the public, especially students and social media users, to disregard these misleading claims and refrain from sharing any content that promotes this fabricated story. Continued dissemination of this defamatory material may result in legal consequences for those involved.”
“Let us unite against cyberbullying, defamation, and the misuse of social media to spread harmful lies.”
