The buzz on X, Instagram and TikTok right now is all about the retired general’s claim that Lt‑Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru was killed on purpose, not in a simple crash.
– *Retired Maj. Gen. Danjuma Ali‑Keffi’s allegation* – He says the May 2021 plane “exploded” because of internal sabotage and high‑level corruption, pointing to the black‑box data and the need to exhume bodies for explosive residue .
– *Public reaction* – Nigerians are split. Some users call for a full, independent probe, sharing clips of the alleged explosion and highlighting Attahiru’s planned audit of army funds. Others question the timing, calling the claims “political drama” and demanding proof before jumping to conclusions ³.
– *Media echo* – Outlets like NivoNews and Sahara Reporters have picked up the story, quoting Ali‑Keffi’s “explosion” narrative and noting the lack of a final AIB report, which fuels the speculation further.
So, the trend is a mix of *“#AttahiruAssassination”* hashtags demanding transparency and *skeptical voices* asking for evidence, keeping the conversation hot across platforms.
