Abuja, March 2, 2026 – A graphic image circulating on social media, reportedly showing Nigerian soldiers killed by terrorists in Borno State, has fueled debate over the federal government’s handling of security.
Several users on X (formerly Twitter) identified the image as dating back to 2020, disputing claims that it depicts a recent attack under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. Critics accused the posts of spreading misinformation amid ongoing concerns about terrorism in the Northeast.
The incident has reignited discussions over the government’s security strategy, with commentators calling for greater accountability from military leadership and highlighting the role of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu in addressing persistent security challenges.
