In a powerful address after the Jumu’at prayer on Friday, October 17, 2025, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Mohammed Kudu Kawu, the Emir of Lafiagi, cautioned youths and online publishers against spreading false and inciteful information about the government and community leaders.
Speaking passionately in Nupe, the Emir condemned the recent wave of unverified and defamatory posts, particularly from Nupeko TV-Lafiagi, warning that freedom of expression must not become a tool for lies and division.
He emphasized the need for peace, truth, and unity within the Lafiagi Emirate, urging the youths to channel their energy into positive community development rather than online misinformation.
The Emir also touched on the Lafiagi Waterworks project, commending the state government’s financial efforts and calling for patience and constructive dialogue instead of public unrest. “You can’t insult or defame someone and expect there won’t be consequences,” the Emir stated, referring to the ongoing legal issues involving the Nupeko TV-Lafiagi publisher.
