Kaduna based Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has dismissed reports that he was targeted by the United States during recent joint Nigeria US airstrikes on terrorist camps in Sokoto State.

US influencers falsely link New York’s mayor-elect Mamdani to ISIS

US right-wing influencers have falsely linked New York’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to the Islamic State (ISIS), spreading a fabricated statement that has garnered millions of views across social media, researchers revealed on Thursday. Mamdani, the first Muslim and South Asian elected to lead America’s largest city, won decisively this week despite a wave of attacks on his policies and religious background. Anti-Mamdani accounts on X (formerly Twitter) circulated a fake statement supposedly from ISIS, titled “Operation Manhattan Project,” which threatened an attack in New York City on Election Day in retaliation for “American aggression.” Among those amplifying the false claim was conservative influencer Laura Loomer, who has close ties to former President Donald Trump.“The Muslims can’t think of a better way to celebrate the victory of a Muslim mayoral candidate today than by committing an ISIS attack in NYC,” Loomer […]

Mahama Warns Unregulated AI Threatens Global Information Integrity

President John Dramani Mahama has warned that the rapid and unregulated expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) poses a serious threat to global information integrity, cautioning that it could fuel misinformation and distort public discourse if left unchecked.

While AI offers immense opportunities for innovation, it also amplifies the risk of misinformation and economic disruption.” The Ghanaian leader emphasized the need for collective global action to ensure that technology serves humanity rather than undermines it. “Deepfakes, synthetic media, and algorithmic […]
