Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar has investigated the claim and found it to be misleading.
Using Google Image Reverse Search, our team found that the picture does show the arrival of the Nigerian national team in Cameroon.
After a keen observation of the picture, it turned out that the Nigerian national team was not wearing a military uniform but a travel suit designed by Nike as a sponsor of the Nigeria Football Federation.
Photo description: The travel suit was designed by Nike.
In addition, this travel suit is way different from the military uniform in Nigeria, as the following pictures show.
The Nigerian national team arrived on Wednesday the 5th of January in Garoua in Cameroon. The team had camped in Abuja during the last couple of weeks for the competition’s preparations.
