Claim: A video<\/a> shared widely on WhatsApp and uploaded to Twitter shows women protesting and calling in Hausa language on Buhari to release \u201cMallam.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKai Buhari, Fir\u2019aunan zamani sako mana Mallam,\u201d is a chant in Hausa which literally means \u201cYou, Buhari, a modern pharaoh, release Mallam for us.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video was edited and recirculated on social media, majorly Twitter and WhatsApp, with the caption \u201cKatsina Women Protesting for Buhari Resignation\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Verification conducted on the video has revealed that the video shows women members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) calling President Muhammadu Buhari to release Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky.\u00a0 The video was recorded in Abuja and does not show Katsina women calling President Buhari to resign.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full Text<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The one minute and thirty seconds video was shared widely on WhatsApp and uploaded to Twitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Twitter user with the name Harri (@harri25_) uploaded the video on Twitter, claiming<\/a> \u201cKastina Women protesting for Buhari Resignation…#EndSARS\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video got more than 55,000 views and about 10,000 reactions in less than 24 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A user with the name Political_Somebody (@princessphilem1) replied<\/a> to the tweet, \u201cPeople are obviously tired of his bad government, things are going worse by the day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another user with the name Auchman (@Auchman1) added<\/a>, \u201cAnd instead of the VP after seeing all these to tell Mr President the truth and resign he is there telling us nonsense\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verification<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A journalist, Mahdi Garba,<\/a> who reports on the activities of IMN, said the video was recorded in Abuja when Shi\u2019a Women were protesting for the release of Sheikh<\/a> Ibrahim El-Zakzaky who was detained by the Federal Government of Nigeria under Muhammadu Buhari.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We could not identify when the video was first uploaded to the Internet, but the content of the video does not show women from Katsina or any particular state in northern Nigeria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some women, speaking in Hausa, in the video did not ask Buhari to resign but requested that he release El-Zakzaky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKai Buhari, Fir\u2019aunan zamani sako mana Mallam,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This translates to, \u201cYou Buhari, a modern pharaoh (tyrant), release Mallam for us.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The video being circulated on social media did not show Katsina women protesting for President Buhari’s resignation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video was taken in Abuja and shows women members of the IMN calling President Muhammadu Buhari to release their leader who is still under detention for about four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
