Nigerian Army Hunts Social Media Users & Bloggers For Hate Speech [VIDEO] by ontiah: 4:44pm On Aug 26, 2017
Social media is no longer a hiding place for hate speech, anti-government and anti-security in Nigeria as the platforms are now being monitored for information by the military.

Director of Defence Information, Major-General John Enenche, made the revelation on Channels Television’s News at 10 on Wednesday, saying the move became necessary in the light of troubling activities and misinformation capable of jeopardizing the unity of the country.

Enenche made the comment less than 48 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari said, in his national broadcast, that some of the discussion on social media in his absence crossed the line and left him distressed.

Enenche held that the social media has always been a challenge all over the world and for the military, it is no different.

“It is a double-edged sword and we are also having a bit of it,” he said.

“Imagine when the President came back and addressed the nation, not up to 30 minutes later, a fake speech of the Commander-In-Chief was being circulated in order to do what? To derail the people. If you are not very sharp and if you didn’t listen to the speech or you don’t have a copy of it like I had it almost immediately, you wouldn’t know. So, looking at it from that perspective, it is a challenge everywhere.”

“What are we doing? In the military, we are now taking on it more seriously than ever. We have our strategic media centres that monitor the social media to be able to sieve out and react to all the ones that will be anti-government, be anti-military, (and) be anti-security,” the military chief continued.

“We tackle them appropriately with appropriate responses. Ahead of that, we are also proactive. We have measures in place, scientific measures to be able to sieve this information and also to get the public and let them know that some of this information they are getting is not genuine are not true and their objective is an anti-corporate existence of this country.”
