The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has cautioned Nigerians against believing everything circulated on social media, warning that much of the information shared online is false or misleading. “Most of the information posted on social media is not true. People must verify such information before accepting it as fact,” he stated.

The Sultan stated this during the opening ceremony of the Northern Traditional Rulers Assembly Meeting in Kebbi state. “I challenge anyone, either within the country or abroad, to provide evidence of any genocide in Nigeria where, who, and how it happened?” he added.
The Sultan called on Nigerians to pray for national leaders and to remain steadfast in promoting unity, peace, and stability throughout the country.
