The viral story of a young woman allegedly facing death in Zamfara for converting to Christianity has been officially declared false. No such trial exists.
  • Zamfara State Government has denied reports of a Christian convert facing trial or execution.
  • No court case exists in Zamfara involving apostasy or religious conversion.
  • Officials labelled the viral story as fake news meant to provoke religious tension.
  • Authorities urge Nigerians to verify news before sharing it to avoid conflict.
  • The incident reflects the power and danger of unverified information in a multi-faith country.
Misinformation travels fast, but its real-world consequences can be dangerous. In a country as religiously diverse as Nigeria, such claims can inflame divisions if left unchecked.
