Nigerian Army Warns Against Circulation Of Fake Videos
The Nigerian Army at the weekend warned against circulation of a fake video footage of Boko Haram insurgents’ purported attack on a military base at Metele, Borno.
The army in a Facebook post expressed concern over indiscriminate circulation of series of fake video footages on social media platforms, an action which creates fear and unrest in the society.
It dismissed the videos as ‘false’, explaining that they do not portray the situation on ground, stressing that such videos served the purpose intended by the insurgents to misinform, spread panic, hatred, religious intolerance and undermine national security.
“The Nigerian Army has continued to observe with great dismay the myriads of photos and video clips being recklessly distributed on various social media platforms by different calibre of persons.
“It is indeed shocking to see how these well doctored propaganda materials from enemies of the state succeeded in creating fear and unrest in the polity.
“These doctored materials are obviously serving the purposes intended by the terrorists to misinform the populace; spread panic, hatred, religious intolerance and undermine national security.
“The Nigeria Army wants to categorically state that the videos and images making rounds as the purported attack on Metele base are false and do not in any way portray the reality of the situation on the ground,” it said.
The Nigerian Army headquarters lamented that many do not know that indiscriminate posts and comments from citizens that are supposed to be solidly behind their military in trying times could dampen troops’ morale.
The Army reiterated its commitment to the protection of the nation’s territorial integrity, maintaining that the sanctity of the Nigerian state would not be undermined by detractors or tacit supporters of the enemies.
