In a now-deleted post on her platform, popular blogger, Linda Ikeji had shared that Nigerians in a reprisal attack, have started burning office of MTN, a Nigerian based South African company in Lagos.
This news coming at a time when Nigerians are being killed by South Africans in their country could spark further tension.
However, it was found out that no MTN office has been set on fire in Lagos, and that the photos shared were those from a 2015 incident.

Bloggers spreading false news about this #Xenophobia thing are silly. We can't even say they are looking for attention. It is beneath any human behavior to know the truth and still spread a lie knowing what the truth really is. Linda Ikeji is a disgrace

Linda Ikeji is so cheap even with all the wealth she has. She'd do anything for clout and publicity. That's really sad and stupid for someone that popular
