Pastors and vigilant Kenyans are now demanding an apology from Media Houses and bloggers who spread fake reports concerning Prophet Owour Convoy.
The online uproar began earlier today after a statement was released concerning the Prophet Owour viral convoy video that hit the news a couple days ago.
Apparently the video was first uploaded on YouTube 3 years ago and is not a recent incident.
Something that has left many in shock as the media has reported that Boinnet had confirmed that they will probe into the matter.
In a statement addressed Royal Media Service MD, a complaint has been filed regarding a story aired on their station,YouTube channel and other blogs owned by their outlet title’ Boinnet orders probe into Prophet Owour’s police escort extravagance.’
The statement continues to explain how sad it is that a media outlet of such magnitude cannot verify information before they go into public domain.
The videothat went viral is a video shot in Kisurnu 3 Vears ago. The media reports have therefore been termed as misleading and meant to cause unnecessary tension within the Kenyan republic,
“As a Kenyan citizen I deserved to be served with news that is unbiased and free from any malice, From your reporting on this issue I have noted that your news team did not cite YouTube as the source of their images hence they were using the clip to push for an agenda which they know best themselves. I wish to remind you that as a media house you have an obligation to give Kenyans verified news.” reads statement in part
Kenyans have expressed disappointment in that journalist have resorted to the most premature way of news gathering which involves using of shortcuts and social media images.
