Claim: A Facebook page, Mariam Ann TV, shared a disturbing video with an image of beheaded bodies, claiming it is linked to the recent Oyo school children abduction.
Verdict: False. DUBAWA’s findings reveal the image is unrelated to the Oyo kidnapping.
Full Text
On June 2, 2026, a Facebook page called Mariam Ann TV shared a disturbing video (archived link here) of her reacting to images that she claims were linked to the Oyo school children abducted. One image shows beheaded corpses, and the other shows school children lying on the floor.
In the video, a woman is heard crying and saying in Pidgin English: “They are kpaing those children, they don kapi some of them”, meaning they are killing the children.
Another Facebook user shared the same images in his reactionary video.
We also discovered that the video was going viral on WhatsApp, with many sharing it in their statuses.
The second image of children in school uniforms has been widely circulated online in connection with the recent abduction of school children and teachers in Orire Local Government Area, Oyo State.
As of June 3, 2026, the post had accumulated over 549,000 views, with the video itself recording 3,100 views, 4,700 shares, and 15,100 likes.
The post triggered strong emotional responses.
Chinazo Reuben, “When Nnamdi Kanu was telling them what was to come, did they believe? Instead, they called him all sorts of names. Now it’s happening.” Queen Ijeoma Olu: “Could this be true? Father, no oh.”
Wadeyiri A Dery, “At least the children have rested.” Uche Chidiebere Kelvin: “If it’s real.. What’s difficult in posting it for full clarification, with a viewer’s discretion?”
Oyinloye Segun, “What? God, I just dey enter. Now ooo. Haa, they are just children.”
DUBAWA conducted a fact-check due to security concerns and the potential for posts like this to cause public tension and panic.
Verification
Reverse image search on both images used in the post revealed they are not connected to the Oyo State school abduction.
DUBAWA traced the video of the beheaded bodies to November 2024. Screenshots were taken from a 40-second graphic video originally posted on the gore website Goresee.
The same video was later republished on May 20, 2025, on another website with the headline, “Brutal Ethnic War In Congo Killing People.”
The second image, showing children in school uniforms, appeared visually inconsistent and raised suspicion about its authenticity. Given these red flags, DUBAWA used AI detection tools to verify whether the image was artificially generated.
A comparison of results from two AI detection tools showed significant variation. Content at Scale classified the image as 91% AI-generated and 9% human-generated, suggesting a high likelihood of synthetic creation. Illuminarty indicates only a 3.6% probability that the image was AI-generated.
Conclusion
Neither image depicts events related to the abduction of schoolchildren in Oyo State. Our verification shows that one image is old footage from a conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, while the other is an AI-generated image. image. The claim is therefore false.
This is a clear case of misinformation and graphic content recycling to exploit public anxiety surrounding the Oyo kidnapping incident.
