NSA Ribadu Allegedly Ordered Military to Hide Boko Haram Attack Reports Ahead of 2027 Elections

Fresh revelations claim that after coordinated Boko Haram attacks in Yobe State left at least 36 soldiers and police officers dead, the office of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, pressured top commanders to keep further details under wraps. Sources say the directive instructed that information on Boko Haram and ISWAP assaults be withheld until after the 2027 general elections to protect the government’s image. Military officers were reportedly warned that any leak to the media would incur severe punishment. One insider described an atmosphere of fear within the ranks, with threats issued against soldiers suspected of speaking to journalists. Critics warn this order could undermine transparency and erode public trust in Nigeria’s counter-insurgency efforts. Observers say the allegations raise fresh concerns over accountability in military operations as the country prepares for a critical election cycle.
