Nigerian army reacts to allegation of extortion by Governor Zulum

Posted by E.L.E.X on January 07 2020 under News









The Nigerian army has reacted to Governor of Borno State, Prof Babagana Umara Zulum's allegation of extortion made against some of its officers deployed for Operation LAFIYA DOLE. 

 

Earlier Governor Zulum accused the soldiers deployed along Maiduguri – Damaturu Road of extorting commuters and causing them unnecessary hardship.

 

However in a statement released by Nigerian Army Operations Media Coordinator Col. Aminu Iliyasu, the Nigerian military stated that it takes such allegation seriously and will conduct investigations to establish it. 

 

He also reiterated the Nigerian army's steadfastness on the protection of lives, property of all law-abiding citizens and its commitment to wiping out insurgents from the North East. 

 

The statement read; 

 

”It is important to unequivocally observe that public outburst particularly by eminent personalities such as a State Executive could be counterproductive and indeed capable of reversing the gains recorded so far in the ongoing fight against insurgents and other criminal elements across the nation.

“It is on record that, whenever such allegations of troop’s’ misconduct were made in the past, the Nigerian Army never reneged in conducting thorough investigations to establish them and where any infractions were established against any personnel, appropriate sanctions were applied in line with extant rules and regulations as provided for in the Armed Forces Act CAP A20 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria.

“Thus, the Nigerian Army wishes to assure the good people of Borno State and indeed the nation at large that any allegations of misconduct against the Nigerian Army troops will be duly investigated and culprits will be dealt with accordingly.

“The Nigerian Army wishes to emphatically reiterate its steadfastness on the protection of lives, property of all law-abiding citizens as it is committed to wiping out insurgents from the North East and other forms of criminality across the country. Additionally, citizens’ continuous support and cooperation is highly appreciated.

“Any observed misconduct by troops could be reported directly through a toll – free code 193 for immediate remedy."
