Senator Dino Melaye and former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, have rejected the 5G wireless internet in Nigeria, falsely linking it to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Tweeting on Saturday, Melaye said the 5G network poses danger to the country.
“5G is a danger to the world,” he said, “Whether it is true or not that they are already laying cables of 5G in Nigeria or not. Govt must not allow it in Nigeria and should take a proactive step in that regard. 4G that is here in Nigeria sef na problem. 3G dey do everything i need i beg… We must watch out.”
