Nigerians have been urged to beware of what they write and the information they spread in the social media as the Nigerian Army has commenced strict monitoring with a view to tracking down troublemakers whose activities constitute a threat to national security.
This was disclosed while the Director of Defence Information, Major-General John Enenche, spoke to Channels Television. He said the decision became absolutely necessary because of the troubling activities and misinformation capable of jeopardizing the unity of the country.
This warning came in less than 48 hours when the President of the Republic warned against the dissemination of false information which he sees as a security threat to the continued existence of the country as one indivisible entity.
He said: “It is a double-edged sword and we are also having a bit of it,” he said when he appeared on Channels Television’s News At 10, hours after President Buhari met with service chiefs and ordered them to strengthen their operations.
“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.”, he added.
Having observed the possibility that the social media can be misused the military has taken steps to address that. One of such steps is the establishment of strategic media centres.
“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.

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,” he said.
