BBC & Dailymail Apologizes For False Report About Human Flesh Being Served In Anambra Restaurant

BBC has apologized for publishing the story about human flesh being served in an Anambra restaurant. They have also admitted that the story is false. Below is the statement they released on the matter:
"The story about the Nigerian restaurant which we published here was a mistake and we apologize. It was incorrect and published without the proper BBC checks. We have removed the story and have launched an urgent investigation into how this happened."
The BBC Swahili service’s reputation for accuracy and balance remains of paramount importance to us and we are taking the appropriate steps to insure that mistakes like this do not happen again.”
Daily Mail has also acknowledged that the story is false:
"An article on 16 May reported that a Nigerian restaurant was shut down for serving human flesh, based on a BBC Swahili report. BBC Swahili has now confirmed that the story was incorrect and the article has now been removed from our website."
