The Military High Command has refuted claims of terrorists abducting 150 people in Gobir, Sokoto State.
In a statement, Major General Edward Buba, Director of Defence Media Operations, clarified that a trending video showing mass killings and burials actually depicts events from a nearby African country, not Nigeria.

General Buba detailed that on August 29, 2024, at around 5 p.m., troops from OPERATION HADARIN DAJI stationed at FOB Zurmi in Zamfara State conducted a patrol to target terrorists in Kwashabawa Village.
During the operation, two MRAPs became immobilized in swampy terrain due to heavy rains.
The troops dismounted and deactivated the vehicles to prevent their capture by terrorists.
The General urged the public to be cautious of terrorist attempts to spread misinformation and fake news as part of their propaganda efforts.
