Malawi Government Denies Fake Presidential Congrats to Arsenal, Threatens Legal Action

The Malawi government has issued a statement refuting a social media post that wrongly claimed President Arthur Mutharika congratulated Arsenal on their Premier League triumph. In the false message, the president’s name was touted among several dignitaries praising the Gunners after Manchester City’s draw confirmed Arsenal’s first top-flight title since 2004. Officials warned that using the president’s name without consent violates the law and pledged to prosecute anyone found responsible. Offenders could face heavy fines or imprisonment. Across the UK, high-profile Arsenal fans such as Prime Minister Keir Starmer and broadcaster Piers Morgan also celebrated the club’s long-awaited victory.
