The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has strongly denied any involvement or support for violence or terrorist activities, distancing himself from recent allegations made against him.
In a statement issued on Thursday by Prince Bashir Adefaka on behalf of the Sultan’s media team, the allegation was described as false, misleading, and without any credible evidence.
The statement was a response to claims made by an American commentator identified as Mac Arnold, who reportedly made public accusations against the Sultan, suggesting complicity in violent activities.
The Sultanate warned the commentator to desist from further defamatory statements, adding that legal action could be taken under both Nigerian and international laws if such claims continue.
It further emphasized that the Sultan of Sokoto remains committed to peace, unity, and interfaith harmony, noting his long-standing role in promoting peaceful coexistence across religious and national lines.
The public was also advised to rely only on verified and credible sources of information, and to avoid spreading unverified narratives that could harm social harmony.
