The Nigerian Presidency has reacted to a viral fake screenshot showing a statement posted on Truth Social by United States President Donald Trump criticising President Bola Tinubu’s visit to the United Kingdom amid the suicide bombing incident in Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC) in Borno State.
A screenshot of the purported statement went viral on Tuesday, a day after the suicide bombing incident, which killed about 23 individuals and left over 100 injured.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, took to X on Tuesday to label the circulating post “Fake!!!”.
The incident reportedly occurred almost simultaneously at the gate of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, the Monday Market Roundabout and the Post Office area, leaving 23 dead and 108 injured.
