‘The Star’ Falls for ‘The People’ Prank as it Copies a Fake Story & Runs it as An Authentic One (PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE)

Yesterday (April 1st), you may have had to break down and shed real tears before you were to be taken very seriously. Not for The Star newspaper though.

As one of its Fools’ Day tomfooleries, The People newspaper yesterday ran a prank story about AFC Leopards talisman, Jacob Keli, alleging that he’s joining Italian side, Inter Milan.
