FACT CHECK: Did Chief of Army Staff, Ibrahim Attahiru Say That 'Over My Death Will Biafra, Oduduwa Emerge As New Countries'?

Following Friday's tragic death of Ibrahim Attahiru, the 25th Chief of Army Staff (COAS) of the Nigerian Army, in a plane crash, a claim started circulating online. The headline published on some blogs in March 2021 read: "Over My Death Will Oduduwa, Biafra Emerge As New Countries, Nigeria Is One —Attahiru Warns".

AllNews noticed this wording is being shared on microblogging platform, Twitter, majorly by accounts of social media users with apparent Biafra separatist leaning. They claim it is from March 2021.







But is that what the late Chief of Army Staff - who died alongside 10 other officers including the crew - really said? AllNews check.

Indeed, as reported by the Nigerian blog, The Republican News, late CoS Attahiru addressed security threats confronting Nigeria in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, at the first Commanding Officers Workshop 2021 on Tuesday, March 23. However, the headline is devious.

“The Nigerian Army under my leadership would remain proactive and jointly work with other security agencies to decisively deal with threats facing the nation.

“The Nigerian Army under my watch remains resolute and is poised more than ever before to decisively deal with individuals or groups that threaten the peace, security and stability of our great nation,” those are the major quotes attributed to Major General Attahiru by prominent news outlets during the visit to Akwa Ibom state at the time.

See The Nation, Sahara Reporters, Legit, This Day, and Sun News Online. Nowhere did he talk about him dying over Biafra or Oduduwa Republic agitators' cause. He didn't even utter the phrase: "over my dead body".

Besides, the caption, 'Over My Death...' is grammatically incorrect.

Conclusion
The claim that late Chief of Army Staff, Ibrahim Attahiru said 'over my death will Biafra, Oduduwa emerges as new countries' is crooked.

Nigeria is being fukd in the missionary position without being wet. You know how devastating it can be, the reason Nigeria can never progress again.

Fuk the Nigerian soldiers and police


God did not create Nigeria. Lugard and his mistress did!
God only created igbo, Yoruba or Hausa..., (Don't know who created the ones that drink blood)
So when folks go on a killing spree to protect the so called territorial integrity of a country created in the middle of a steamy intercourse between two racists, at all costs, they're going to be held directly responsible for their actions both by God and humanity..
Op, you shouldn't be defending anyone here. The General is with Ikonso them now. He should defend himself there..
The bolded part dey sweet!

The person below me is a lunatic

So this shitty blog which looks like something designed in the early 1990s run by a slowpoke who keeps spreading propaganda masking it as "news" is where IPOB are getting their news from? SMH.

Lol the pains are so much that the gaslighting has begun...

Hohohohohoho cheesy

He never said so, just the same way no Lekki protester was shot by soldiers.

In fact, Attahiru is still alive. The aircrash was photoshopped.

Rubbish and irrelevant news.

Whether he said it or not is not important. In fact, I believe he said it because he's supposed to be a loyalty of the Nigeria sovereignty.
One thing I know for sure is that, with the way these savage nomadic parasite almajiri and beggar people are running this country, A BREAKUP IS INEVITABLE SOON.

GOD PUNISH ONE-NIGERIA.
