A religious leader in Kano, Dr Bashir Umar, has warned against undue conspiracy and spreading of fake news on the COVID-19 vaccination.
Umar gave the warning at a one-day forum, organised for religious leaders on Sunday in Kano.
The forum was organised by the Islamic Forum of Nigeria to educate religious leaders on the importance of COVID-19 vaccination.
The forum was also aimed at explaining to the religious leaders the need for them to mobilise their followers, ahead of the vaccination.
Umar noted that it was wrong for people to jump into conclusion on issues not known to them, especially as they related to public health issues.
