A viral image shared on WhatsApp and social media, claiming to show the aftermath of an attack in which the Nigeria Police Force “lost 10 men” during a “terrorists invasion” in Kebbi State, is misleading and likely AI-generated. Ten Nigerian police officers were killed in a gunbattle with armed men in Kebbi State on August 10, 2026, a death toll confirmed by multiple reports, including the Associated Press. However, accounts differ on the attackers' characterization: AP described them as heavily armed rebels, while Nigerian reports variously called them suspected bandits, terrorists, or criminal elements. The Nigeria Police Force described the incident as an attack by a large group of armed bandits. PM News Nigeria reported that the Kebbi government would support families of the 10 officers killed in what it called a “terror attack.” The same or substantially similar photograph was used by PM News Nigeria and security analyst Zagazola Makama on X, but its use does not establish it was taken at the scene. Describing the incident as a “terrorists’ invasion” is a stronger claim than the evidence supports, as reports indicate armed men moving between Zamfara and Kebbi and an ensuing gunbattle, not an invasion that captured or overran Kebbi territory.
