Hafsat Abubakar, the woman arrested for allegedly creating and spreading a fake document claiming OPay was shutting down, has said she deleted the post and apologized after OPay issued a notice stating it was false. Abubakar revealed this while speaking to journalists at her arrest in Abuja, explaining that she was arrested five days after her public apology.
She said, "When I saw the notice immediately after they made it, I deleted the post immediately and rendered an apology on the same day. They gave me an hour to take it down and apologise before 11:59pm on August 31, and I did. I took the post down around 8pm and made an apology before 11pm." Abubakar also stated that she felt no regret for posting the false information, believing she was unaware of its falseness at the time.
