Our attention has been drawn to a news story with the headline “EXCLUSIVE: ‘About 700 Soldiers Missing, More Than 2,000 Trapped’ As Boko Haram Takes Over Baga” on Sahara Reporters website alleging that such number of soldiers were trapped and the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) could not do anything to extricate them. This is not only untrue but a deliberate mischief on the part of the medium to create erroneous impression about the military and the concerted effort of the ongoing clearing and mop up operations in the general area.

Therefore, no one could give accurate details of the encounter yet, as the troops have been reinforced and are busy with pursuit and mopping up operations against the terrorists. Consequently, Sahara Reporters is advised to be more responsible in its reportage and always cross check its facts before posting it on its website.

Former Governor of Ekiti State Peter Ayodele Fayose, simply popularly know as Fayose has taken to twitter to share how he feels over the ignorant of President Buhari on the Baga situation. See his post below:

My heart goes to our gallant soldiers and the civilian residents in Baga, Borno State. May the Almighty Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) preserve their lives. In a moment like this, methinks the President of Nigeria should be heading towards Baga and not Uyo for political campaign.
