The video of moment some armies which were captured by Boko Haram has been trending online, and I have decided to share the video with you.
This is @OfficialAPCNg Egbekegbe's definition of security. The assailants are "bandits". The commanding officers of the victims who dare complain of either lack of equipment or wrong intel are demoted.

Those terrorists, when caught, are feted, trained, & freed as "repentant". pic.twitter.com/JCArdseyJg
The video shows the harsh and unusual treatment these soldiers are facing in the abode and midst of Boko Haram and I can’t help but pity these trained soldiers.

However, facts check revealed that the video was a old video published in 2019.
Twitter user Emeka Gift said to reshare the on December 7, with his over 85,600 followers. The 32-second recording appeared to show tens of insurgents tying the arms of captured soldiers behind their backs as they lay on the ground.
“Video Nigeria government don’t want the world to see. According to Nigeria government, Boko Haram has been defeat [sic]. But watch and see how Boko Haram rounded Nigeria soldiers and behead them one after the other,” Gift wrote.
He added, “#EndNigeria or Nigeria will end you. #SupportBiafra.”
The video had been watched over 1,000 times as of 8p.m. on December 7. It was liked by 144 users of the microblogging platform and retweeted over 330 times.
Some of the comments indicate that those engaging with the tweet believe the video to be recent. Dammy Francos, for example, wrote: “This is the Boko Haram that Zulum said Buhari is doing well.” The statement from the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, was made earlier the same day, Monday, December 7.
