In response to the increasing prevalence of deepfakes, disinformation, and malinformation, the Nigerian Army has urged journalists and media professionals to rely exclusively on its official social media accounts for credible and verified information.
The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Lieutenant Colonel Appolonia Anele, said the move is essential to counter the deliberate spread of false narratives that can undermine public trust and national security.
She emphasised that the verified platforms remain the principal source for updates concerning Army operations, engagements, and activities across the nation.
The official handles include: X: @NigeriaArmyInfo and @HQNigerianArmy, as well as Instagram: @NigerianArmyInfo and @HQNigerianArmy.
Others are: Facebook: NigerianArmyInfo and HQ Nigerian Army as well as YouTube: NigerianArmyInfoTV
She urged journalists and the public to follow and disseminate these verified accounts in order to bolster the efforts against misinformation and to safeguard the integrity of national security information.
