The Military High Command has refuted claims that 150 people were abducted by terrorists in Gobir, Sokoto State.
A statement signed by the Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, clarified that the mass killing and burial shown in a trending video was actually from a neighbouring African country, not Nigeria.
General Buba further explained that on August 29, 2024, at around 5 pm, troops of OPERATION HADARIN DAJI deployed at FOB Zurmi in Zamfara State conducted a fighting patrol to dislodge a gathering of terrorists in Kwashabawa Village.
During the operation, two of the troops’ MRAPs got stuck in the swampy terrain due to heavy rains while attempting to outflank the terrorists.
The statement added that the troops dismounted and demobilised the MRAPs, when efforts to backload them were futile.
The sad demobilization of the MRAPs by troops he said was to prevent it from being useful to the terrorists after abandonment.
He, however, urged Nigerians to be circumspect of the antics of the terrorist to propagate misinformation, disinformation and fake news as part of their war propaganda efforts.
