Oak TV, an internet TV platform,
has apologised to Lai Mohammed for publishing a video in which the minister of
information said the government spends N3.5 million monthly to feed Ibrahim
El-Zakzaky.
In the trending video, the
minister begged not to be quoted before making the claim about the leader of
Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN).
However, the video was published
and has since gone viral on social media. Reactions have trailed the video,
with many describing the claim as untrue.
In a letter addressed to the
minister on Thursday, Oak TV said reporters involved in airing the video have
been sanctioned,” the letter read.
“On Wednesday, November 7, Oak TV
made some error in its reporting regarding a conversation with the minister of
information.
“This is an error which we
regret. All team members involved have been sanctioned, and we would do more to
tighten our gatekeeping responsibilities.”
The internet TV apologised for
any embarrassment the video may have caused the minister.
Despite the bail granted to him
by a federal high court, El-Zakzaky has been denied freedom since December 2015
and has remained in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
