In this age of information superhighway characterized by social media platforms with no ethical guides, information in the public domain, especially online, presents novel  challenges. These challenges exist in forms of misinformation, disinformation and the so called ‘fake news’. These challenges manifested prominently during the COVID 19 pandemic thus affecting the credibility of information about the disease. This development, otherwise known as infodemic affected how people responded to information in the public domain thereby inhibiting the fight against the pandemic. Confronted by this development, the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) issued a health advisory to the generality of the Nigerian Muslim community on how to cope and respond to the infodemic during the pandemic.  This paper therefore looks at COVID-19 in relation to the dynamics of health misinformation and disinformation. In doing so, it identifies and examines the global outlook of the phenomenon as well as the selected issues that triggered disinformation on the COVID-19 saga.  It investigates what may have accounted for disinformation and misinformation in the course of managing COVID-19.  Finally, it examines what the Nigerian Muslim Ummah could do to avoid being victims of disinformation and misinformation together with adherents of Islamic faith. The paper recommends that the Islamic Council should deem it necessary to set up specialized committees. One of these must be dedicated to information and communication management possibly emphasizing fact-checking to steer members of the Ummah clear of avoidable confusion that infodemic generates.   The chapter also registers the fact that it is imperative for every living being, particularly Muslims, to be open to new knowledge by way of training and retraining.
