- false: Massive, coordinated suicide bombings tonight in Maiduguri. A hospital, a major market, the post office—all hit! Many innocent people killed.
No credible news reports from major international or local news outlets confirm the occurrence of massive, coordinated suicide bombings in Maiduguri targeting a hospital, market, and post office as described. Fact-checking organizations have debunked similar fabricated claims attributed to Donald Trump regarding Maiduguri bombings. - misleading: his country is in a state of NATIONAL EMERGENCY (referring to Nigeria)
While Nigeria faces significant security challenges, a formal, nationwide 'state of national emergency' as a blanket declaration directly linked to recent, massive bombings (which are themselves fabricated) is not accurate. The claim is presented without specific context or timing, and in the context of a fabricated event, it serves to amplify false alarm. - false: President Tinubu is currently in the UK on a 'State Visit.'
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made various visits to the UK, but fact-checking organizations confirmed that at the time similar fabricated tweets circulated (mid-2023), he was not on a 'state visit' to the UK, nor was there a state visit coinciding with the alleged (fabricated) bombings.
