“Fake News”: CBN Debunks Rumours It Is Shutting Down Banking Services
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has debunked rumours of its plans to shut down banking services.
A viral broadcast message on WhatsApp claimed that the apex bank would shut down all electronic banking networks between Thursday and Monday in order to prevent vote buying in the forthcoming general election.

It urged citizens to be on the lookout for fake news.
