President Bola Tinubu has cautioned Nigerian journalists against serving as “megaphones” for terrorists and bandits, stressing the need for responsible reporting in the face of ongoing security challenges.
Speaking on Thursday at the inaugural State House Press Corps Presidential Dinner held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Tinubu warned that careless reporting could undermine national security and embolden criminal groups.
“The media must resist the temptation of becoming megaphones for terrorists and kidnappers. We must not undermine our country with irresponsible reporting. If we do, we will have no safe space left, especially at a time when our nation is tackling security threats, neutralizing thousands of criminal elements, and rescuing hostages,” he said.
Tinubu emphasized that while government must act decisively, the media has a duty to question and hold leaders accountable without inadvertently amplifying the voices of those seeking to destabilize the country.
