The Nigerian Army says a circulating intelligence document warning of planned Boko Haram and ISWAP attacks is fake and unverified. The purported alert, shared on social media and other platforms, claims attacks will target public institutions including schools, churches, mosques and NYSC orientation camps across Nigeria.
The Army’s Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel Appolonia Anele, states that the document has not been confirmed and should not be treated as reliable information. Both outlets report the Army’s position that the alert is not authentic.
While the alert spreads online, the Army does not provide evidence supporting its contents or timing. The sources focus on the service’s denial, without detailing any specific security incidents tied to the claim. The difference in coverage is mainly the outlet wording and emphasis, including the repeated listing of targeted locations such as educational and religious sites and NYSC-related venues.
