The story is untrue.
1. Police asked for 200 million naira bail for doing nothing

2. You transferred 20 million naira worth of bitcoin to Austin. How many millions of naira worth of bitcoin do you have?

Your name should be a great dreamer! (Oh, it already is)

1. They (police) did something. They profiled the men and chose to intimidate and pseudo-kidnap them. The money was a ransom named bail.

2. This also boils down to profiling. The average policeman/woman is way smarter than the average Nigerian.
You can't be the verified owner of 30m Naira car while brandishing 1 or 2 thousand dollar phones in their faces and not have liquid 100m. Police smart and WOoKed!
(There are foolish exceptions though. I know a 40m friend that bought a 25m car. That's foolish)

Many Facebook groups based in Mali and Nigeria began sharing a video of a helicopter on December 9, claiming it showed an aircraft delivering weapons to terrorists. In Mali, the posts often accused the French government of operating the helicopter, while posts coming from Nigeria laid the blame on the Nigerian government. In reality, the video is from neither one of these countries – it was filmed in the Central African Republic during a routine supply drop.

In the roughly three-minute video, a helicopter lands in a field before several people start to unpack its cargo.

The video has been shared widely in Nigeria. Some posts claim that it shows "Fulani terrorists" being supplied by the government. Others say that the people receiving the supply are Boko Haram.

Posts including the video, some of which have more than 300,000 views, were also shared in Mali, claiming to show "palpable proof" that the French army is involved in supplying terrorist groups there. This kind of rhetoric is commonly used by conspiracy theorists to stir up anti-French sentiment in the country.

One of the videos was shared with a voiceover in Bambara, one of Mali's 13 national languages. The voiceover says the video reveals some of the things that are really going on "in the bush", stressing that the unidentified people in the video are speaking Fulani and that there is a white man present.

Looking for clues in the video and sound
Several sources, including members of the Tabital Pulaaku association, which promotes the Fulani language, confirmed to FRANCE 24 Observers that the people speaking in the video (who can be heard from 2:20 onward) do speak Fulani, but with an accent from eastern Niger. The discussion, however, does not offer any clues, consisting of an exchange of greetings and instructions on how to unload the helicopter.

On closer inspection of the video, however, it is possible to identify a crucial clue: a logo on the side of the helicopter, as well as a number, difficult to discern, on the back.

With the help of BenbereVerif, a fact-checking media outlet in Mali, we were able to identify the logo. It belongs to "African Parks", a nature conservation NGO based in South Africa that manages 19 parks across the African continent. We matched up the logo with other photos of African Parks helicopters that we found online.

'The helicopter was transporting the Chinko outreach teams and their supplies to the park'
The African Parks operations manager, Erik Mararv, told the FRANCE 24 Observers team that the video was filmed in Chinko park, a nature refuge in the Central African Republic, which is managed by his organisation. He explained:

A video related to false information has been circulating on social media, distorting the location, people and activities in the footage.

African Parks can confirm that the videos shows one of its helicopters carrying out a routine resupply mission in Chinko, in the Central African Republic, on December 4. African Parks manages the site in partnership with the Central African government.

During the mission, the helicopter was transporting the Chinko [Reserve] outreach teams and their supplies to the park, dropping off one team and their supplies in the field, and picking up another team.

These teams conduct extended outreach missions in the field to engage with livestock owners who move through the area seasonally. They initiate a dialogue about the location of the Chinko [Reserve] to encourage them to use the established routes around the park's perimeter.

These outreach teams are unarmed, clearly identified and recruited from the local community in order to establish a relationship of trust with local herders, according to African Parks.

This explanation suits better. Let's hope for no more white helos .

Those birds you see there represent Eiye....Davido is a cultist

Lol. You're a learner. He's a cultist no doubt but...

The birds are not a reference to eiye. Count them. 7 birds.

Seven is the main symbolism there.

Passing off fentanyl as Oxy, if he wanted to pull a scam why not dud tablets..
Fentanyl administered in wrong dosage is even deadlier than heroine, even tho Fentanyl is cheaper than heroine...

DON'T DO DRUGS IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING..

Fentanyl is not cheaper than heroin. They are around the same costs.

The difference is Fentanyl is +100x stronger. So more lucrative.... Yes!

Stay drug free

Whyem15:
At a time when the military is in urgent need of equipments, investing such amount in proforce is not so responsible,if the money belongs to the army, they should order the most cost effective land systems they can get their hands on anywhere in the world in large numbers. The country cannot afford to wait for local production at this time, the local defense industry will meet up later.
The airforce however needs helicopters, but not those they will only be allowed to use in some particular regions of the country and not for that price.

I agree with you about the helicopters. However for armoured vehicles, let's go local. That's what i mean by 'Proforce'.

Government and private sector can produce 1 or 2 thousand per year.

The kinetic solutions to this war is not rocket science.

- DOCTRINE (reorganisation)
- MULTIPLE LOITERING DRONES
- ARMOURED TRANSPORT and FIGHTING VEHICLES
- INCREASED SF and INT USE
- ROUND THE CLOCK PRESSURE

All this is assuming corruption is low or medium-low and Governmental will is high.

We keep saying the same things over and over.

Give that 300 billion to Proforce. They can scale up and even give us IFV's. Export same to the sub-continent.

She looks like her mum. Still a beautiful girl.

As I get older, I am beginning to realize beauty is but just one part of the whole package. I spend less time making up, that is if I do at all. When I remember the days I wouldn’t go out without wearing padded bra or rubbing my cheap lipgloss with hideous black eye pencil…I laugh.

I love how her mum has her back through the times. Literally too.

...btw, lace bra > padded.

SamuelAnyawu:
How did ISWAP release a picture of dead bodies that included the Brigade Commander? This news is quite confusing.

It's clear there were terrorists elements still alive in the vicinity that took quick camera shots. They edit same to serve their narrative.
