thats the story going around the social media. i'm not too quick to believe stories like this without solid facts. they didn't mention where in Nigeria these cases were reported. were they autopsied? how were they able to compile the figures so fast. this na Naija, nothing happens that fast. abeg dont be so quick to believe rumours without facts or you'll be labelled as gullible.

The text message/ SMS reads " Please stop
sucking Orange the Nigerian Police have
announced this morning that they have confirmed
13 people dead in Lagos and the Orange is
spreading fast. please inform others, send this to
all your Friends and family if you love them- NPF"
JEEZ !! That was the text message being
circulated and there might be others like it.......
well it is possible to poison fruits but is this
particular one correct information or just an HOAX
and FALSE INFO for the consumption of poor and
impressionable Nigerians.
TEST- I have heard similar rumours and text
messages/SMS in the past.......in year 2009, 2010 ,
2011 respectively talking about poisoned
"SUYA" roasted meat, Beans, Vegetables and more.
Important questions to ask here is the message
above clams the Nigerian police is responsible for it.
that means the police as usual must have issued
press release on the subject matter, if that is true
then which media house or any other credible source
has this "important information?? Nigerian
television Authority NTA (to start with), National news
papers? Other television houses? even the Nigerian
police website does not have it. for crying out loud i
have seen captions like " Family of 6 die after eating
Amala and Ewedu" in THE PUNCH News paper, how
come non of this rumours that fly round in text
messages/SMS does not make it to any credible news
source and only rely on " please quickly send to
others" ??
VERDICT
This news is incorrect just like the false rumour of
the killer telephone number .............It is a Hoax from
somebody who knows Nigerians can believe anything
even without proof or credible source, perhaps MTN
telecommunication company is being too gracious
with too many free text/SMS messages of recent and
PRANKSTERS just can not resist the urge to spread
their HOAX/ Falsehood through SMS....with
MTN Nigeria's new SMS freebies.....i have seen many
text messages ranging from MTN's celebrating their
Birthday, Killer Telephone Numbers
by ritualists (080200226655) and now Killer oranges
all ending with please forward to others and get =N=
7500 free credit with the exception of the last one.
Only God knows what next is will come up next week
if MTN Nigeria continues to give out free TEXT
messages. But thank God the MTN SMS Bonus will
stop by August 20 hopefully all this pranks will stop
till the next MTN Promo *LOL * could this be what
the politicians/ leaders are using to enslave
the populace. LIES, LIES and more LIES !!
