Thursday, April 17, 2025 - The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), His Eminence Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, has described social media as a “terrorist organisation” that must be urgently dealt with to preserve national security.
While speaking during the 17th executive committee meeting
of the Northern Traditional Rulers’ Council held in Maiduguri, Borno State, on
Tuesday, the Sultan lamented the role of social media in spreading
misinformation and inciting unrest across the country.
“What
happened has happened. It can’t come and be through social media. That’s one
terrorist organisation…social media.
What they
do… somebody will sit in his comfort zone and formulate stories and you will
think that it is true. So, social media is a terrorist organisation that we
must deal with. Security agencies must deal with this terrorist organisation
called social media.”
