Jackson Ude: ‘Wanted’ Declaration Revealed as Hoax

Following recent claims and circulation of flyers on the social media declaring, Mr Jackson Ude, a former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan wanted, investigations have revealed that the flyers are spurious and did not emanate from the Nigerian Army.

A highly reliable source in the Army Media directorate, when contacted to confirm if the flyers were from them, described it as fake saying it did not emanate from them.

“Fake. Not from Army,” the source who prefers not to be named stated

Ude has been embroiled in controversy following his recent social media post alleging the demise of Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja.

The Nigerian Army promptly debunked the report through its Director of Army Public Relations, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu and confirmed that the Army Chief is alive and well.

Last week, flyers began to circulate online suggesting that the Army had declared Ude wanted but the top Army source clarified there was no truth to this.

The source emphasized the Army’s commitment to upholding the rule of law while condemning Ude’s spread of unverified news, saying it can cause unrest.

Efforts to reach Ude was not successful but a source close to him said this is not the first time a faceless group would make spurious allegations against him recalling that last month, Ude’s name was included in a list of alleged terrorists sponsors which turned out to be fake.
