Presidential Aide Debunks Fake Footage Linked to Oyo School Kidnappings
A presidential aide has refuted viral images and videos falsely presented as footage of the schoolchildren abducted in Oyo State. He revealed that some clips date back to June 2020 in Mali, while others originate from Cameroon, and warned they are being circulated to undermine rescue efforts. He accused those sharing unverified content of sowing fear and discrediting security agencies. He urged Nigerians to stop circulating manipulated media and to verify sources before resharing. The government says it is working closely with local authorities to secure the safe release of those kidnapped on May 15 in Oriire LGA, where gunmen abducted the principal and several students.
