An image showing the dead bodies of soldiers is being shared on social media with a claim that these are the dead bodies of the Indian soldiers martyred in the recent faceoff with the Chinese troops in Galwan Valley, Ladakh. FACTLY found out that the image was earlier shared as the dead bodies related to the Nigerian army. It is alleged that in 2015, 105 Nigerian soldiers were killed by a terrorist group ‘Boko Haram’. Boko haram is a radical Islamic group that promotes the ideology of forbidding Muslims from any political and social activities related to the western society. Information related to the Nigerian army killed by the Boko haram group can be read here and here.
