Misinformation About The #endsarz Protest by strongviewmedia: 5:09am On Oct 26, 2020 |
The story has started trending globally, with thousands of posts on social media, but not all of them factual. We have looked at some of the misinformation that has spread online. The woman protestor whose brothers were not killed by the police The image is real, and she had joined protests in south-eastern Nigeria. But as the image was shared, people started adding misleading information. "Not one brother...3...on the same day...killed and dumped in a well," a widely-circulated reply to one of the posts with the image said, claiming she'd lost family members at the hands of the police. When we contacted a spokesperson for Ms Ugochukwu called Gideon Obianime, he told us this was not true. He said Ms Ugochukwu herself was briefly detained by Sars forces in 2018, but although she has brothers, none of them had been killed by Sars forces. "I think people started adding assumptions to the photo. She has been getting a lot of backlash [over this]," Mr Obianime told StrongView Media. Carrying the national flag will not protect you from the army This unproven claim has gone viral - that a soldier cannot shoot someone holding the Nigerian flag. It's been widely shared on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, with some suggesting there's an unwritten military code to that effect.

What they post is always who debunked been killed or hurt Beware Nigerians. This is the time to know and understand the true identity of those who cause tribalism on here, they are paid agents, they are neither from east or west. They have more than twenty accounts, they would create tribal topics and make tribal comments with another accounts to cause chaos between southerners. Though, they have no conscience but you can try to educate them or better ignore them. They are easy to identify, use your head brothers. Also Be aware that tactics and plans has been deployed to cover up the massacre since all their efforts to break southern unity were not fruitful. They have created a lot of Facebook and Twitter accounts with Yoruba or Igbo names for this purpose, one of them is to post pictures or video of people who debunked being killed, those pictures were scripted and earlier been circulated for this purpose. They would discredit real occurrence and give it another title and narratives. Beware of the propaganda They dominates this platform, they are agents of destruction. 2 Likes 1 Share |
