Niger state government has denied any civilian casualties during military operations in Shiroro local government area of the state.

The government said in a statement, “The attention of the Niger State Government has been drawn to a report making the rounds on social media and other media platforms suggesting that some civilians were killed at Kurebe in Shiroro Local Government Area as a result of the ongoing Air and ground operations by the military and other security agencies in the state.

“To the best knowledge of the state government, there is no civilians residence in these areas for some time now due to the infiltrations and activities of the terrorists which forced the locals to seek shelter as IDPs in other parts of the state.

“The Niger State Government welcomes the ongoing intensified military operations in neighbouring states and in some local government areas in Niger state which include Shiroro, Munya and other LGAs which is aimed at neutralising of bandits/terrorist in these environments.

“The efforts of the joint operations have yielded a lot of success which the state is happy as many bandits/terrorists have already been eliminated in the affected LGAs.

“Similarly, as part of joints efforts by the State Government in conjunction with security agencies have repelled bandits attacks in Shiroro and Munya LGA and rescued many abductees accordingly.

“While the State Government appreciates the victories recorded during these operations, it also looks forward to sustained operations to eradicate bandits from the state. These efforts will no doubt restore confidence in the communities within the area, which will enable them to return back to their farms.

Before nko

I know defenetly the mumu governor will denied the report, what do you expect from a governor who always spend only 1hour at of 24 hours in the state

This one is here denying an already known truth. Oga, go and sympathise with the deceased families. Our politicians are insensitive, hard-hearted and inhuman. People without conscience. RIP to the dead.

Wetin we go believe now?

If they deny it

Then it's true.

normally

Wahala dy ooo

Who do we believe now?

The news outlets that are not objective or the government that is always denying?

I am not surprised, lying is a major criteria to be a Nigerian Politician. Collateral damage such as the scenario is inevitable in aerial bombardment even if its a forest, coz it may be someone's farm also there are so many collaborators among civillians supplying necessities to the bandits. May the Almighty not make us be counted as collateral damages.

Kudos.

Good this banditry must stopped anyhow it must

Enemies of this country spreading fake,fake news in order to weaken the morale of our armforces. They hate good news,they are always in pain when ever our military succeeds.

I knew it was the propanganda of the enemy... Nigerians remember we have enemies that want to see Nigeria destroyed. IPOB, bokoharam and Iswap all have media arms that spread fake news and propanganda against the Nigerian army... Nigerians do not spread or share such news about the military it's fake, don't use your hand to jeopardize the security of lives and properties in Nigeria.

Whenever the military is dealing a decisive blow on these enemies, they start crying, cowards.

The government already discredited itself with that statement... You investigate and come to a conclusion. So you say, we investigated and discovered, or investigations revealed, and so on, and not "to our knowledge..." that's doublespeak aka a dishonest way politicians talk to hide the truth. If anything, the state government's statement indicates people were killed.
