ZamfaraMustSecure” and several other viral bloody images and videos of the mass grave submersion of people allegedly killed in the operations military operations in the geographic areas of the north-west and north-central part of the country. It is appropriate to state that the claim is false. and malicious and has no connection with the operations carried out by the troops of the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN).

However, it is true that AFN is currently conducting successful military operations against bandits and kidnappers in accordance with its constitutional roles. These operations are carried out in strict compliance with the rules of armed conflict, with the utmost professionalism, strict respect for the rules of engagement and respect for fundamental human rights and dignity.

The viral images circulating have nothing to do with current operations. This ruthless action of linking current operations to lies is deliberate and therefore seeks to tarnish the good image and reputation of AFN.

As a reminder, AFN organizes a bimonthly briefing on media defense operations in which images of operations are displayed to supplement the achievements of ongoing operations. Any attempt to portray AFN in a bad light as a crude force is unacceptable and unpatriotic.

We therefore urge the general public to disregard the bloody images. The AFN will not rely on its oars in fulfilling the constitutional mandate to ensure that our nation remains safe and peaceful for all law-abiding citizens.

We kindly ask you to distribute to the general public. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
