An online viral image posted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supposedly showing dead Nigerian soldiers killed by Boko Haram in the Metele village attack has been confirmed as fake and misleading.

The said attack on the 157 Task Force Battalion of the Nigerian Army took place on Sunday, November 18, by the insurgents in the northeast region of the country .

Concerning the tragedy, the Chief of Army staff, Tukur Buratai, on Wednesday, December 26, revealed that only 23 soldiers were killed and also put the number of troops wounded at 31.

Although there are no official casualty figures until more than a week after the attack, some media outlets, including Reuters, reported that over 100 soldiers were killed.

Reacting to the incident, the PDP shared on its official Twitter page a press statement accompanied with an image of President Muhammadu Buhari and that of several dead soldiers they claimed were Nigerian laid on the ground. The PDP's Twitter report so far has not less than 1,155 Retweets and 1,618 Likes.

However, based on thorough investigation and series of verications, The Guardian has reported that the said photo is fake since it does not relate to Boko Haram or Nigeria.

Findings revealed that the image was snapped by a photography stringer for Associated Press (AP) at Elasha Biya, Somalia. The image was published by the AP on October 20, 2011, to show Al-Shabab militants displaying the bodies of men they claimed were African Union (AU) peacekeepers killed in Somalia.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, had accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, of spreading fake news.

The opposition party, therefore, asked the minister and the ruling APC to seek forgiveness from Nigerians for allegedly spreading fake news in the country. The PDP in a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja on Sunday, October 21, said: “The minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, should lead the government and his APC to do the needful, instead of the lame attempts at whitewashing the government and his party, even when
Nigerians know that they are behind the escalation of fake news in Nigeria.”

If you mean both engage in fake news, then it's not acceptable. But to do that with national security and the lives of security personnel is treasonable.

You are joking.
You still don't know who Buhari is.

GEJ,
Atiku,
Obi,
Saraki,
Dogara,
Tambuwal,
Kwankwaso,
Ahmed Makarfi,
Bafarawa,
and all PDP bigwigs are in Sokoto and this is all they can pull, even with the rent-a-crowd.

How I wish Buhari will go to Sokoto alone and you'll know Mohammed Ali is not Bash Ali.

Then they'll have to take thousands of organizations to court for using the Next Level phrase and designs that look similar to theirs.

But APC has clarified that theirs is different. So no cause for alarm.

It's an illustration...same thing your party APC normally say whenever you are caught lying and stealing people's achievements.


The pictures were used as illustrations. Cry and cry your eyes out.

that is not enough, it's even a northwest zonal rally (comprising of 7 States with the largest voters population in Nigeria). Buhari's unannounced visit to kano state pulled more votes than this. For me it,it's a poor outing,because this is the first campaign in which a statement is supposed to be made by a major contender to present occupant of the sit. imaging people of kano,kebbi,jigawa,katsina,Kaduna,zamfara,and sokoto are supposed to be present to support their candidate.
NB: I NOW UNDERSTAND THE INFLUENCE OF governors IN CAMPAIGN AND AIDING A CANDIDATE TO THE SIT OF THE PRESIDENT,THAT'S WHY BUHARI SIDES WITH THE GOVERNORS AND SOME INFLUENTIAL/POWERFUL SENATORS WHO WERE FORMER GOVERNORS.
WHAT'S BEEN DISPLAYED COME TO SHOW THAT TAMBUWAL IS A POLITICAL ORPHAN IN THE NORTHWEST STATE.

Hausa people don't entertain sister Nneka Calistus Kanu's delusions. Leave it to the little iPods, the FFKs, the Fayoses and the Oyedepos.
