Beyond setting the record straight, Dzokoto used the opportunity to highlight a concern that clearly weighs on him: the effect false reports can have on the people closest to him.

While he said he personally has the resolve to brush off fabricated stories, he noted that family members who stumble upon such content may not react the same way.

For loved ones who are unprepared, he argued, reading that a relative is dead or dying can trigger genuine panic and distress.

With that in mind, he directed a pointed message at bloggers and those who share content online, urging them to adopt responsible habits.
