PUBLIC STATEMENT
FABRICATED X (TWITTER) ACCOUNT OF PROF. JOASH AMUPITAN, SAN
Community note
These are bare faced lies from INEC. The X account @joashamupitan is owned to INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan via matching email, phone number, and posts dating to 2023, per independent fact-checks. This contradicts INEC's claim of fabrication.

#FACT: The claim that these images show bandits handing over General Rabe’s body in Katsina is misleading. While the retired general unfortunately passed away in captivity, the photographs circulated by Senator @_dinomelaye are AI-generated illustrations.

Heavily armed bandits handed over the body of General Rabe yesterday morning in Katsina and left for neighboring forest 🌳 of Matazu , unchallenged !

#FactCheck: The claim that the video shows insurgents mobilising to attack Nigeria is misleading. Digital verification proves the footage originated in East Africa and was documented by Ethiopian sources on May 2, 2026, regarding regional conflicts. It has no relevance to Nigeria.

Nigerians took to the streets in Abeokuta, Ibadan, & Ogbomoso to protest against the rising insecurity. But guess what? The APC paid for helicopters to fly the flag & Tinubu’s giant campaign banner across the South West. His lack of situational awareness is alarming. 💔
