dc.description.abstractOne of the societal pollutions in our environment that requires overhauling intervention is the spread of false information. In this paper, we modelled the spread of rumor in a continuous and dynamic population of five compartments. We considered an incubation period which allows rumormongers to verify the authenticity of information received before spreading. Stability analysis of the rumor-free equilibrium (RFE) and the rumor-present equilibrium (RPE) was carried out. The RPE is a function of the reproduction number R0. In order to annihilate the rumor, the results suggest that we should reduce R0 continuously below 1. The results are numerically validated and discussed.
