Niger state government has regarded as totally misleading a viral video of Boko Haram forcefully converting people to Islam in Niger state. It stated that the video is totally misleading and the work of those who wishes to see the country up in flames. According to the government, "This video is an old video that does not even originate from Nigeria, talk more of Niger state." It urged citizens to stop spreading false news and raise unnecessary alarm but rather use their position to complement the peace efforts of the government. It said, "As citizens, we should rather use our vantage position to complement the peace efforts of the government than spread fake news, cause disunity, raise unnecessary alarm capable of causing disaffection among the peace-loving people of Niger State and Nigeria at large."
