STOP POSTING VIDEOS AND PICTURES THAT COULD TRIGGER RELIGIOUS CRISIS- NIGERIAN SENATE
 |
| Senator Dino Melaye |
The Nigerian Senate has sternly
warned against the posting of videos and pictures that could trigger religious
crisis and war in the country.
Senator Dino Melaye reportedly
raised the issue in reaction to photographs of killings from other countries
allegedly posted on the social media under the guise that they took place in
Southern Kaduna.
According to Melaye,
“This ugly development is a recipe for religious crisis and war and I feel
it is necessary for the Senate to pass a note of warning to those using our
cyber space to post dangerous pictures.”
Senate president, Bukola Saraki,
commended Melaye for drawing the attention of the senate to the looming crises
being instigated by dubious use of social media.
Saraki appealed for the responsible
use of the social media and noted that the Senate will not tolerate the use of
internet to engender crisis.
Saraki further called on relevant
agencies to go after those posting non-existent and inciting videos and
pictures about Nigeria on the social media.
