Always cross-check your facts before reporting – OSHA Speaker

Media organisations have been urged to always cross-check their reports to prevent inciting the people against government.

The speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, OSHA, Mr Timothy Owoeye made the call when the management of Gold FM Ilesha paid him a courtesy visit in Osogbo.
