Thank you for your report.

Do you mean that the coordinates are wrong or is it about the "Location" section with address?

"Location" is guessed using your Network Location Provider, this app is just displaying it. For most phones, it's Google Maps that's providing this data. For NOGAPPS phones phones it's the UnifiedNLP app that provides it (and it takes data from OpenStreetMaps).

On Google Apps there's an easy way to check if Google knows the right address for your location: https://f.gdr.name/googlelocation-2018-05-27_07.49.23.mp4

Looks like Google has the wrong data for your location:

Out of curiosity, I checked on OpenStreetMap.org and it's displaying "Ogbo, Odogbolu, Ogun, Nigeria" - the same as Google.
