Buratai 2 (1).webp
Former Army Chief Tukur Buratai has rubbished claims that his convoy was attacked by terrorists in Borno, calling it fake news. He insists he never left Abuja.
  • Senator Ali Ndume had claimed Buratai’s convoy was attacked in Borno.
  • Buratai’s camp says he’s been in Abuja all through Eid.
  • Ex-Army spokesman calls the report “reckless imagination.”
  • Buratai thanked Nigerians who reached out to check on him.
  • The public is urged to ignore the viral rumour and stay informed.
Misinformation spreads fast, especially when it involves prominent figures like Buratai. In an age where social media fuels panic, the retired General’s calm denial and his gratitude for public concern remind us why fact-checking is essential. The louder the rumour, the more urgent the truth.

One thing is clear: Buratai wants no part in the drama. But why did the claim gain traction so quickly? Misinformation thrives on silence—this time, it didn’t stand a chance.
