dc.description.abstractIn the last one and a half decade, there has been a massive proliferation of social media use as well as an astronomical surge in the numbers of people with access to handheld and tabletop gadgets. While a dramatic reporting of news bordering on insecurity has become commonplace as shown in the information disseminated through these media, the reality is no doubt, as frightful as these social spaces convey. How much of a haven can citizens pretend to have when physical assaults, cannibalism, extrajudicial killings, and terrorism are the order of the day? This paper shall explore commonplace social media dramatic reports that border on societal insecurities, insurgencies, and inhuman behaviours replete in every social media platforms. The paper argues that attendant humanistic tendencies that drive people to share and comment on these recurrent social vices, vis-à-vis corresponding responses by concerned individuals, NGOs and government agencies have driven the multiplier effect of communal and socio-therapeutic gains. This paper, therefore, proposes a systematic virtual therapy, based on Morello's theory of sociodrarna to discuss and evaluate spontaneous traumatic news of insecurities in clustered groups within societies.en_US
