A Wikipedia page showing a short biography of All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu has been locked after the age section of his profile was reportedly edited 84 times.
The age of the former Governor of Lagos was edited several times following the controversy that trailed his 69th birthday celebration on Monday, March 29. It was learnt that numerous accounts took to Wikipedia to edit Tinubu’s age from 69 to 79 after many social media users suggested that he is above the age he celebrated yesterday.
84 edits were carried out on Tinubu’s page on his birthday and most of them were on the age section of his profile.
Vandalism for Wikipedia is “editing (or other behaviour) deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project’s purpose”.
The first edit was carried out at Lagos Island, before being done in United Kingdom, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, and a few other countries around the world.
