El-Rufai States The Major Threat To Nigeria's National Security...

Hate speech and fake news have been identified as the biggest threats
to Nigeria's national security, by Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna.
According to reports, the governor made his comments when he received
the new commander of Operation Safe Haven, Maj. Gen. Anthony
Alolagbe..
He stated:"There is need to curtail the emerging trend of using social
media to create crisis in the country.
"I think collectively we have to fight it and discourage those behind
it by arresting and prosecuting them.
"In this state, we will not allow anyone engage in propagation of hate
speech and fake news; there is provision in the penal code in Kaduna
state that deals with that."
‎The governor further stated:"Nigerians are becoming more aware of the
dangers hate speech, fake news and the abuses on social media pose to
the peace, unity and stability of this country.
"There are still challenges; but with the intervention of the Army and
Police, it has been curtailed to some extent."
