The Nigerian Army has denied claims made against it by INEC that its officers disrupted the collation of results in Rivers state during the March 9th governorship election.


Recall that INEC released a statement over the weekend accusing the Nigerian Army of using its officers to disrupt the Rivers state governorship election.

The Army has released a statement denying INEC's claim. Read the statement below

Headquarters 6 Division Nigerian Army (NA) have observed with dismay and sense of betrayal in the statement made by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) signed by its National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee Festus Okoye Esq on 15 March 2019. The statement according to INEC was the findings of its Fact-Finding Committee that assessed the situation in Rivers State.

It is however pertinent to note that, representatives of the 6 Division met with the Fact-Finding Committee on Tuesday 12 March 2019 at the INEC Headquarters in Port Harcourt and had honest discussions and made a written submission to aid the Committee in its task. Regrettably, none of the Division’s input form any of the findings of INEC as made public. This clearly indicates lack of trust by an institution that the NA sacrifices so much to assist in the course of performing their role.

Genesis of the suspension of Governorship/State House of Assembly elections process in Rivers State

What INEC failed to mention or even consider is the fact that at about 10:30 pm on Saturday 9th March 2019, troops of 6 Division NA detailed at the outer perimeter of Obio/Akpor Local Government Headquarters Collation Center were brazenly attacked by Governor Wike’s security aides and armed thugs who stormed the collation center with the Governor in a convoy of more than 50 vehicles while collation of results was going on. In the ensuing melee, Captain Adams Salami was shot at close range by the security aides of Governor Wike while Corporal Adeosun Adebayo was matcheted by Governor Wike’s thugs. Both victims are currently receiving treatment at University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) Intensive Care Unit and Military Hospital Port Harcourt respectively with life threatening injuries. Thereafter, election materials were carted away and electoral officials abducted by the Governor’s thugs to an unknown destination. This was made known to the INEC Fact-Finding Committee but INEC does not see it worth condemning or mention in its report.

Consequently, after due consultations and considerations between 6 Division and the Rivers State Police Command on Sunday the 10th of March 2019, the Rivers State Police Command, on their own, - took the initiative to invite the media to the hospitals where the 2 victims are receiving treatment and thereafter to host a press conference on the matter with the view to dissociate itself from the unprofessional conduct exhibited by their men attached to Wike and tell the public what disciplinary action the command will take or is already taking. However, while the visit to the victims was accomplished and the 2 victims interviewed by the media, the press conference was aborted by the Police after journalists have been assembled.

Coincidentally, a rescheduled
press conference on the matter was also aborted on Thursday the 14th of March 2019. Most disheartening is that while the Rivers State Police Command accepts the involvement of their personnel in the attack at Obio/Akpor LG Headquarters, till date those personnel have not at least been reprimanded.

To this end, - in the circumstance, - the 6 Division NA as a stakeholder in the 2019 General Elections takes exception to the lopsided and therefore unfair INEC report and is hereby strongly and totally rejected by the NA.

The Division is equally disappointed with the attitude exhibited by the Nigerian Police in this regard and hereby request the police leadership to commence full scale investigation of those security aides to Governor Wike that attacked troops at the Obio/Akpor LG Headquarters Collation Center and shot at Capt AA Salami with a view to appropriately sanction those found responsible/culpable. Until that is done, Headquarters 6 Division NA will have to review all existing joint activities with the Rivers State Police Command.

D

Wud U kip kwayet!

You did.
Ribbish?!

We are being governed by a retired military dictator. This we know. Therefore we are not surprised at the partisanship of the military. Though shameful and disheartening, the military did the bidding of the C in C.

As for the coward Ameachi who invited the boko Haram runners to his home to kill his own people, posterity will judge you.

If Nigerian Army can deny that NDA boys did not molest a good Nigerian. Wetin this one come be na?

Expected

They will definitely deny it, what do you expect before from APC and President foot soldiers.

Lol, political army

BLAME GAME

The problem with most of our state apparati is that they are hardly intelligent and logical in their rebuttals and hardly ever carry out their masters' dirty jobs cleanly.

When will the army be held accountable?

Fraudulent liars

Wike is trying his best to rope the Nigerian Army, as a result of the disgrace he is about to receive from the AAC. The Nigerian Army is a professional organization and they can never temper with any democratic process.

Wike should get ready to leave the Rivers State Government house. The people of Rivers will vote him out tomorrow.

Sai Amaechi,
Sai AAC.

Uselss people

With all the video evidences, the way nigerian Army denies things ehn

nigeria army una useless

We heard the police in river state have been an accomplice in writing election results in favour of candidates of their choosing for years - now that 2 parties are at logger heads - the figures of voters in river state have significantly reduced - the army went in to disrupt the police from providing the necessary shield of protection for the riggers as usual - all hell has now broken loose

yeye

Denial everywhere.

The army have been infected by the lai virus.

Wailers keeps doing what they know what to do best... Thumbs up

Look at how burutai has allowed Amaechi to reduce the Nigerian army, a once noble institutions to ballot box snatchers and touts.
Nigerian army under the watch of Bututai will forever be remembered as the era our once noble army became common electoral touts

After denying that they were the ones who attacked Nnamdi Kanu's house,Buhari's army could as well deny anything.
