It said that the videos are misleading and are not related to the present military engagement of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
According to a statement by the Coordinator Defence Media Operations, Major General John Enenche, “the attention of the Defence Headquarters has been drawn to some video clips trending in the media.
“Consequently, the Armed Forces of Nigeria wishes to state that the videos were old clips of past incidents that took place in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
“The clips are being used by some mischievous elements to tarnish the image of the Armed Forces of Nigeria. Those videos are misleading, as they are not related to the present military engagement of the Armed Forces of Nigeria towards the lockdown on COVID-19”.
