The Nigerian Army has debunked a video of a beast reportedly killed in Benue State by troops.
The video which has since gone viral shows the corpse of a beast with the head of a rat and the body of a human being. It was widely rumoured that the beast was killed during ‘OPERATION WHIRLSTROKE’ in Benue state.
In a statement seen by ABN TV on Monday, the army called on the general public to ignore the footage adding that it was from a Portuguese movie.
“The Press Release and video making rounds on social media of a mysterious beast with human body Killed by troops of operation whirl stroke is Fake.”
“The original video is from a Portuguese film “Lobisomem Morto a Tiros” Please disregard this video.”
