A widely shared video appeared to show armed militants travelling through a military checkpoint without resistance. The footage raised serious concerns about national security and the conduct of security personnel.
Claim: Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters were reportedly seen moving in armoured vehicles through military checkpoints, while soldiers looked on without intervening.
Verification: The video is not real evidence of militants moving freely through a Nigerian checkpoint. Reverse image and content analysis showed it was filmed on a movie set, not during an actual security breach in Nigeria.
Verdict: FALSE
