- Nigeria's presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, is under fire for a recent comment

Adesina had made claims about how foreign military handles its casualties on national television

- Two foreign journalists serving in Nigeria debunked the claims and provided proof to the contrary

A foreign freelance journalist based in Nigeria, Anna Cunningham, and AFP's Abuja bureau chief, Phil Hazlewood, have both dismissed Femi Adesina's claims that the military does not or rarely disclose the figure of its casualties globally.

Adesina, the spokesperson of Nigeria's president, Muhammadu Buhari, made the statement on Channels Television.

Cunningham and Hazlewood debunked the presidential aide's claim after Channels Television tweeted the words of Adesina.
Cunningham also responded to a follower who said the links she provided are memorial/archive lists not names of those published as they become casualty on war front.

She tweeted: “I have reported on the funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. The media were invited to cover the funeral services. Those deaths were made known by the MOD with permission from next of kin.”

Adesina, a former managing director of Nigeria's Daily Sun newspaper, appeared on the TV station as mounting criticisms trail the silence of his boss, after the reported killings of almost 100 Nigerian soldiers in Borno state.

When are we going to stop playing politics with everything?

Only a complete dullard can and will appoint a person like Femi adeshina as his spokesman. Each time he makes a comment you can detect asininity and imbecilic daftness in his reasoning and comments. It is better to hear the lies of Lai Mohammed than the moronic batty rubbish from Femi adeshina.
p.s Yoruba's are not stupid and insensitive, he must be a bastar.d

Adeshina is openly pissing on the graves of our fallen heroes just to sound politically correct. Worst is heard this tramp is also a pastor.

When APC stops taking Nigerians for fools.

To thinks that Adeshina allegedly a "pastor" will still be insulting the memories of the dead along side the satanic government in which he haslve become a harbinger of death is so sad.APC government srill playing politics with the many gruesome deaths of our military.
