dc.description.abstractThe paper analyses how selected newspapers framed stories on the alleged diversion of 2.1 billion US dollars meant to fight Boko Haram insurgent in Nigeria by Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd). Using quantitative and qualitative research method, it purposively selects three national newspapers; Daily Sun; Daily Trust; and The Nation. The three-month study systematically selects 48 editions at the interval of 4th number beginning from December 2, 2015 to February 29, 2016. The study qualitatively analyses pattern of frames with a view to determining the dominant frames the newspapers use in constructing stories. Also, the study descriptively analyses stories in terms to how newspapers cover the stories. Findings show that conspiracy frame is the dominant frame (21%) in the newspapers reports. This is followed by human interest frames (17%) while attribution of responsibility and conflict frames each has (15%). The study also finds that newspapers use different frames like conspiracy, conflict/human interest, attribution of responsibility and appeal to principle frames to construct stories depending on the nature of story. The study recommends among other things that newspapers should maintain the use of appropriate frames to construct stories as issues arise with a view to enhancing informed public debate.en_US
