Bashir Ahmad, a former aide to ex-President Muhammadu
Buhari, has sparked a heated debate on social media after accusing a Christian
organization of spreading false narratives about religious violence in Nigeria.
In a post on X, Ahmad alleged that a recent photo shared by
Global Christian Relief; a nonprofit that supports persecuted Christians
worldwide—was misleading and misrepresented the victims shown.
The NGO had posted an image of several bodies prepared for
burial with the caption: “The Christian community is being massacred in
Nigeria. This is a story that desperately needs more attention.”
But Ahmad swiftly challenged the authenticity of the
narrative and the identity of the victims depicted.
“This propaganda against Muslims has reached an alarming and
disturbing level,” he wrote.
“They now shamelessly use images of massacred Muslim victims
to falsely portray them as Christians killed by Muslims.”
“What kind of injustice is that? How low must one go to
twist the truth and exploit the pain of innocent victims to push such a
dangerous and divisive narrative?”
Ahmad then called for a collective stand against what he
described as intentional disinformation.
“This deliberate attack on truth must be called out and
condemned by all people of conscience,” he said.
Ahmad’s reaction has drawn a wave of responses online, with
users debating the authenticity of the image and the implications of
religiously charged misinformation in Nigeria’s fragile security climate.
