EnuguEndSARS stray bullet saga: No governor orders the military – Army officer

*We were mobilized to protect school girls from hoodlums, criminals

*Miscreants killed, burnt policemen, stations, others

One of the soldiers mobilized by the military to protect the innocent female students at Queens School Enugu, last Saturday, following a security report that armed hoodlums and criminals parading themselves as #EnuguSARS protesters wanted to invade the school in search of COVID-19 palliatives, has opened up on what transpired, contrary to the stories being peddled on the social media, IGBERE TV reports.

The soldier who spoke to our correspondent in confidence disclosed that there was no directive from anybody, as being mischievously peddled on social media, to shoot or kill the hoodlums and criminals who in their numbers, some with weapons, attempted to overpower the security agencies and forcefully invade the school, where the young girls are staying.

The military officer stated categorically that Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi did not give them any directive, explaining that “what happened was a case of stray bullet which the hoodlums themselves have questions to answer “because they had dangerous weapons like guns as they were forcefully approaching us to overpower us and go into that school where these girls we were ask to protect were”.

It would be recalled that the principal of Queens School Enugu, Mrs. Ada Nweke, had in a video, sent SOS to the security agencies to come to the rescue of the traumatized girls following the forceful attempt by the hoodlums and criminals to invade the school.

Mrs. Nweke who stated that there were no COVID-19 palliatives still in the school as they had been distributed to the 17 Local Government Areas in August, stressed that “we don’t want what happened to the Chibok girls to happen to these students”.

Prior to the alarm raised by the principal, it was widely reported that the hoodlums and criminals’ aim was to invade the school, in the disguise of #EndSARS protest looking for palliatives, and then rape and kidnap the female students similarly to what happened to the Chibok girls.

When asked who then directed them to mobilize to the school, the officer said: “This question has a straight answer. The world knows where we take directives from. The military just like other security agencies are exclusively under the control of the federal government and we take instructions from our heads.

“So I don’t know what you mean whether it was the governor that directed us or not. We know who directs us, and even you here asking me this kind of question know too. No governor directs the military or its officers. Please take this message home and stop asking such questions”.

On the 24-hour curfew imposed, the soldier pointed out that “it was unfortunate that these people refused to stay at home and obey the curfew imposed by the state government. They saw us pleading with them to go home but they kept forcing their way to overpower us.

“Are you not aware that these miscreants killed two policemen in this state and burnt one in the process of this protest? They burnt police stations, looted and destroyed a lot of properties belonging to innocent people.


“What have you said about it? Did you report it? Did you see it circulated anywhere on social media by those peddling these lies against the governor and security agencies. Or are security personnel not human beings like you?

“So if a security man is killed by hoodlums it is not news worthy to be spread on this una social media?

“Please go and advise these youths to stop exposing themselves to dangers because as I am talking to you here, a directive has come from the Presidency again that both the military and police should mobilize across the country to stop these lootings, killings and destruction of public and private property.

“Go and warn them before they start accusing the state governors or other persons”.

It is of course a fake news from the usual quarters. I commend the army for protecting that school and the girls from violent marauders. The protesters were bent on looting the school properties and the innocent girls in there as well.

Because this soldier is army spokesperson

This is lazy journalism. If you want to get information about the Nigerian Army, contact their spokesman

.

hmmm
this one that people are looking for palliative everywhere so it's alarming.. I pray what they wish to do with those girls they won't succeed...

Hmmmm.
So it was Baba that do the ordering. That should be the reason he has been quiet on the Lekki shooting na.

May God heal Nigeria..
May God heal Nigerians..

May God destroy all enemies of Nigeria...

Long live Nigeria..
Long live President Mohammadu Buhari.
Long live good Nigerians.

God bless us all.

sparogatively, why did hoodlums unite to raid an all female school?

All I can see here is the quest to quench "Konji"

Sparogatively, the days are evil
People do say Konji na bastard, but I say, every bastard has a father... alive or dead!

In konji's case the father is your thoughts! Guard your thoughts so they wouldn't cause problem for you or anyone!

#SayNoToRape
#SayNoToVagabondism
#DoNotEncourageHoodlums

If not you then bubu

With all honesty, Nigeria needs restructuring ASAP. Enough of jokes from right and left.

We know. For Nigeria even senator can order shooting

No governor orders the military, but they can order who orders the military...

All we know is that we're not done with protesting.
It was only hijacked by hoodlums to wreck havoc and once the government is done controlling things, we peaceful protesters will return.

This time around no destructions, nothing!
We give them some time and if SARS still give us headache, we return to the honor of our dead brothers and sisters!

So no body agree about ordering the shooting abii...

Bro karma and sis nemesis are not sleeping

Please how much is sachet of tomatoes in your area now Cos I don’t understand what this aunty is saying

Buhari have succeed finally

everyone is clearing their hands. this report is filled with lies

no one was there to kidnap any girls.

there was wide spread news either rumor or not, that palliative is still stock in that school. that was why the people gather there. it might be true or not that palliative is still stored there.

the military came and fired stray bullet to one innocent young guy.

It’s baffling that some people think a governor can order the military. Even police sef Dey disobey governors directives. The soldiers on the other hand did the right thing by repelling the hoodlums that tried to gain access into the girls college.

if you got shot-dead in the middle of hoodlums that are wrecking havoc, destroying things, attacking innocent people, you deserve no RIP.


... from me, though.

Which palliative dey for all-girls school? Thank God the innocent girls were unharmed.

Okay o

Thank you ooo


The shit for brain people can now see clearly


.

Are they happy now?

We must be very stupid to believe some media stories at times.
1. You showed me one man taking up an E-tag scanner and we called it Camera Removal.
2. Yes, light could've been ordered to be off, I have seen this before in order to frustrate protesters out.
3. Soldiers started shooting as oppose to 10pm Curfew time. Don't you guys smell a fuvking fish, why start (7pm) when it's still bright. I thought according to plan, the light will be off and operation can start when it's dark. If you solider got timing wrong then you have been dealing with wrong instructions all along.
4. Bonny Camp Soldiers which is only 5-10km away from tollgate, you know better that such operation can not go uncovered in such area. Is either you are stupid, or commanding officer is a dumbass. Please just tell me its a hoax.
5. Tinubu, I have interest in Presidency 2023 or rather still I want to influence the candidate i.e. Fashola, osinbajo or one sharp Igbo guy and then you went to destroy your own PR overnight. Baba I'd be highly disappointed if you actually stope so low to that level.

The Nigerian military, infact the whole Nigerian security forces are some of the most unprofessionally trained security in the world. Just ordinary quelling peaceful protests, these beasts of human basuras are massacring people with live ammunitions, yet they are the most weakling when face with an equal fire power.

So sad!

na small small talk dey take start

Thanks for letting us know that buhari the murderer order the killings in lekki. And we still wonder why he never made mention of it in his speech

G

NICE ONE FROM THE MILITARY, THE SECURITY OPERATIVES LIVES MATTER TOO. I BLAME THE IGP FOR LETTING THOSE MISCRANTS KILL AND BURN THOSE FACILITIES.
OPERATION KILL AND GO
