The comment, “Boko Haram is there, let them keep recruiting the so-called repentant terrorists into the army and police force,” negatively impacts the country by undermining trust in its security forces. It suggests that former insurgents are being allowed to infiltrate key institutions, which can cause public distrust in the army and police. This perception weakens confidence in the nation’s ability to maintain security and protect its citizens, creating a sense of fear and instability.

Additionally, such comments spread misinformation and fuel divisiveness, potentially deepening ethnic and regional tensions. They also undermine government efforts to reintegrate rehabilitated individuals and can discourage people from joining the military. These harmful narratives weaken national unity and damage Nigeria’s global reputation.
