Boko Haram: UNDP visit exposed terror group’s false narratives–The Truth Alliance
Boko Haram: UNDP visit exposed terror group’s false narratives–The Truth Alliance
By: Michael Mike
In a significant blow to Boko Haram’s propaganda machine, a recent visit by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to North East Nigeria has exposed the terror group’s false narrative. The delegation, led by Moncef Kartas, Head of Office and Stabilization at UNDP Nigeria, revealed critical insights that challenge Boko Haram’s claims and shed light on the group’s destructive and anti-Islamic agenda.
According to The Truth Alliance, a non-partisan organisation committed to promoting truth and justice, Boko Haram’s strength is waning, and their ideology is crumbling. The group’s fighters are surrendering and seeking rehabilitation, and their reign of terror extends beyond violence to forced labour and denial of basic rights.
A statement on Monday by The Truth Alliance Spokesperson, Mr. Ahmed Mustapha, noted that the UNDP delegation’s account also highlights the progress made in rebuilding and stabilizing the region.
During the visit, it was made clear that Boko Haram’s strength is waning, with fighters increasingly surrendering and seeking rehabilitation. The Hajj Camp in Borno, where former Boko Haram associates undergo screening and rehabilitation, stands as a testament to this reality. The Truth Alliance emphasised that Boko Haram’s ideology is crumbling, with many insurgents now rejecting their former ways.
The account also revealed that unlike its claims of fighting for the people, Boko Haram’s reign of terror in reality “extends beyond violence, forcing people into labour without regard for freedom or basic rights”.
The UNDP also noted that the rehabilitation efforts for those who suffered under Boko Haram’s tyranny highlight the group’s disregard for human dignity. “The Shehu of Borno’s firsthand account paints a grim picture of the insurgency’s impact on communities, bringing only death and destruction in defiance of the principles of Islam and humanity,” the statement read.
Ngala LGA, once ravaged by Boko Haram, has witnessed a remarkable transformation, with the rebuilding of infrastructure, restoration of state services, and revitalization of trade and economic activity. Similarly, the Logumane community, once proud of its central mosque, has seen over 3,200 internally displaced persons (IDPs) return home, with the reconstruction of housing units, healthcare centers, schools, and police outposts.
To this end, the group emphasised that Boko Haram’s actions do not represent Islam and that their legacy is one of violence, oppression, and destruction. The organisation also called on all Nigerians to reject the terror group’s ideology and support the government’s efforts to combat the insurgency and restore peace and development to the North East.
The Truth Alliance is dedicated to unmasking the truth behind violent and extremist groups, empowering communities to resist tyranny and violence.
Through education, outreach, and collaboration, the group strives to build a safer, more resilient society for all. The ‘Time to Tell the Truth’ campaign aims to expose the manipulation, deception, and brutality of extremist groups

By Comrade Philip O. Ikodor
The Ashlee Momoh Foundation (AMF), a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the families of fallen officers, brought Easter cheer to military widows at Breden Estate, Airport Road, Abuja, on April 2nd, 2026. The event was a poignant celebration of hope, renewal, and the triumph of light over darkness, as Princess Ashlee Omonegho Momoh, Lead/Founder of AMF, emphasized in her address.
“Easter is the season of renewal, hope, and the triumph of light over darkness,” Princess Ashlee said. “It reminds us that even after the longest winter, spring arrives and even after the deepest sorrow, there is the possibility of a new dawn.” The outreach was designed to show support and encouragement to the military widows, and to felicitate with them on the occasion of Easter.
Princess Ashlee Momoh reassured the widows that while their loved ones are no longer physically present, their legacy lives on, and AMF is committed to standing with them, supporting them, and celebrating their strength. “Today, we celebrate you, our heroes’ widows, and the sacrifices you’ve made,” she said.
The event was filled with moments of joy and fulfilment, as beneficiaries received gift items, cash gifts, and scholarship opportunities. The Foundation also announced enlistment for skill acquisition and empowerment programs, aimed at equipping the widows with the tools they need to rebuild their lives.
The outreach was a testament to AMF’s unwavering commitment to supporting the families of fallen officers, and its dedication to making a positive impact in the lives of those who have made immense sacrifices for their country. As one beneficiary put it, “This Easter, we’ve received more than just gifts – we’ve received hope, love, and a sense of belonging.”
The Ashlee Momoh Foundation’s Easter outreach was a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is always hope, and that together, we can overcome any challenge.
