The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, has described social media as a “terrorist organisation” that must be tackled urgently to prevent it from exacerbating Nigeria’s fragile security situation.
Speaking during the seventh executive committee meeting of the Northern Traditional Rulers’ Council held on Tuesday in Maiduguri, Borno State, the monarch decried the unchecked spread of misinformation online, warning that it could deepen the country’s security woes.
