Hafsat Abubakar, an arrested Nigerian woman, has expressed regret over sharing a fake notice about OPay's alleged shutdown. Abubakar, who admitted to not verifying the information before reposting it, deleted the post and issued a public apology after OPay alerted her to the publication. She was arrested by the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre after OPay filed a petition against her, claiming the document she shared looked like an official corporate notice with OPay's logo and branding.
The police said the document was designed to mislead the public and cause concern among OPay customers. Abubakar urged Nigerians to verify information before sharing it on social media, expressing remorse for her actions and the trouble she caused OPay.
