Procol Harum, who came to fame with their 1967 single A White Shader of Pale, have been blamed for the horrific kidnapping after people confused them with radical militant group Boko Haram.
Many across the internet have asked why the British progressive rock band would do such a thing and wondered how the hippie groovers had become "terrorists".
One Twitter user said: "It's shocking that Procol Harum's records are still being played on the radio after what they did in Nigeria."
Another wrote: "Wow! What happened to Procol Harum? Whiter Shade of Pale was a great song, but it doesn't excuse terrorism."
Yet despite the controversy, it seems most of the comments are tongue-in-cheek.
But it was reported that an expert with "knowledge of Nigeria" did also make the blunder too, calling Boko Haram "Procol Harum" throughout a radio interview.
