According to Femi Adesina, even before President Buhari’s speech started around 8:00 pm, a copy was already out and in circulation on social media.

However, there were many discrepancies in the final speech and the leaked version. For example, the leaked version revealed that the lockdown on Lagos, Ogun and The FCT will be eased Saturday, 2nd May. But the final speech went on to give 4th of May as the date.

“As the country waited for the President with great expectations, a purported copy of the broadcast began to circulate on social media from about 4 p.m,” Femi Adesina wrote.

“I took a look at the circulating document, and within one minute, I knew that it was a rogue copy.

“What immediately gave it away was the paragraphing. It was completely different from the one I had been part of producing, and which had been recorded for broadcast by the President.

“Another tell-tale to the dubiousness of the document was the date it gave. It said the lockdown in the affected states and the FCT would be eased from May 2, while the authentic copy bore May 4.

“There were some other discrepancies. Paragraphs that had been excised from the final copy were still intact, and the document was riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, which you would rarely find in a presidential broadcast, which would have passed through a number of select and trusted hands.

He then went on to refer to the person as an “enemy of the state” saying he is already answering for his “evil” actions.

“Before the end of that evening, computer evidence had narrowed down the suspect, and he was already answering for his evil actions,” he added.
