Emir Of Kano: Man nabbed for impersonating Muhammadu Sanusi II on Instagram

A 20-year-old man who reportedly impersonated the Emir of Kano on Instagram has 262 followers on the phoney account.

The police in Kano has arrested a 20-year-old man for impersonating the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II with fake Instagram account.

According to reports, months of intense investigation ensured the arrest of suspect who is now helping law enforcement agents for facts finding.

The phoney profile which he utilized successfully to deceive members of the public has been set to private mode following recent development.

 

The frenzy associated with social media has opened up room for atrocities such as impersonation often explored to grow fake accounts either for the love of controversy or for social media marketing.

In July 2017, the National Council on Information (NCI) recommended the creation of a council to regulate the use of social media in Nigeria.

This submission was made at an NCI-organized meeting on Hate Speeches, Fake News and National Unity held in Jos, Plateau State.

The uncontrolled commentary on social media platforms by users who make unguarded statements has emphasized a need to be proactive about monitoring online interactions in a bid to maintain peace and order.
