Nigerian Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Waidi Shaibu warns newly enlisted soldiers against misusing social media and violating the Nigerian Army’s social media policy. Speaking during remarks to fresh recruits in connection with army training, Shaibu cautions that publishing operational information, images or videos of military activities, or references to sensitive locations on social media amounts to a serious breach of military regulations. He also warns recruits not to share unverified content. According to the reports, Shaibu makes the point that unauthorized online posts can lead to disciplinary action. Daily Post Nigeria specifically notes that the warning is delivered to 2,989 recruits and says breaches could attract severe sanctions, including dismissal from service. Both outlets present the warning as part of efforts to reinforce operational security and proper conduct among incoming personnel, emphasizing that soldiers must follow established rules governing what can be shared publicly and how content should be handled.
