        1st picture drew outrage all over the world but 2nd picture did not attract a tweet outside Nigeria. @BBCAfrica , is the little girl a farmer? Where has humanity gone? Why do you stick to the narrative of the oppressors? Occupied communities have been renamed by Fulanis.pic.twitter.com/6rOIhEGavG

        Gov spread fake news. Recently "authorities" have been quoted saying only 9 people died in recent trailer tanker fire. Obviously the number should be in the tens. That is fake news.
