There is a video which has gone viral on Whatsapp and Facebook.
The video shows a woman holding an AK 47 Assault Rifle and practising how to use it. The promoters of the video have alledged that it is Fulanis teaching their wives how to handle AK 47s in preparation for a potential war and calling on Christians to get on with their preparation.
After careful investigation and verification on the Video, it was discovered that:
1. The Video is not of Nigerian Origin.
2. The video was first seen about 2 year ago.
3. It was possibly reposted on Youtube on 14th May 2018 most probably by mischief makers.
4. The language spoken in the video is clearly not Nigerian. It is a language common to the Chadians and Sudanese.
One truly wonders the motive of those promoting this type of mischief.
We once more call on fellow citizens to be cautious and careful with the materials they receive and share. They might just be helping to promote fake news and hate materials deliberately created by enemies of the nation and humanity, just to fuel and worsen the security crisis for their selfish and evil purposes.
One doesn’t need lies to support a truth. The truth is structurally and inherently fit to stand firmly.
In a country as politically, ethnically and Religiously charged as Nigeria, such a dangerous video could be a weapon of mass delusion and propaganda, and if care is not taken, could stoke the flames of further death and bloodshed.
