HQ Nigerian Army
RE-TRIBAL WAR AT ARMY BARRACKS 82
DIVISION NIGERIAN ARMY ENUGU THREE
SOLDIERS FEARED DEAD
The attention of the Nigerian Army has been
drawn to a deliberate and calculated
campaign of calumny aimed at misleading
the public and cause disaffection among
troops, being circulated in the social media
by a faceless and obviously subversive group
named “EASTERN RADIO”. The group created
and posted a story titled “Tribal War at Army
Barracks, 82 Division Enugu Three Soldiers
Feared Dead” on various social media
platforms.
In the write up, they alleged that there was
an altercation in an unnamed barracks in 82
Division over nomination for “peacekeeping
operations” which led to exchange of gunfire
among imaginary troops that resulted in loss
of lives. Apart from obvious flaws and
inconsistency in the narration, the Nigerian
Army wishes to emphatically state that no
such incident occurred anywhere in the
Nigerian Army, let alone 82 Division. In fact,
the alleged reported incident existed only in
the obviously negatively skewed minds of
the authors of such fabrication.
The intent and goals of this band of
miscreants is to cause distrust amongst own
troops and the country’s populace at large,
which unknown to them is an exercise in
futility because the Nigerian Army is
cohesive. Their methodology is to employ
such campaign of calumny and distortion of
an established reign of peaceful, harmonious
and esprit-de-corps culture in 82 Division
and the entire Nigerian Army. However, the
campaign is a failed one as the entire
Nigerian Army remains indivisible,
unprovoked and not gullible to such cheap
and heinous insinuations.
The general public is therefore please
requested to discountenance the false story
of EASTERN RADIO and their affiliated
secessionist groups as there is no iota of
truth in the story.
We would like to inform the public that the
82 Division Nigerian Army is intact in all its
locations and deployments, same goes for all
the various formations, units, cantonments
and barracks of the Nigerian Army.
Above all, the Nigerian Army remains
committed to providing aid to civil authority
as enshrined in the Constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As
Amended) and wishes to assure the public of
the Chief of Army Staff’s unalloyed
commitment to protect lives and property
whenever called upon to do so in line with
extant provisions of the law.
We wish to also reassure all well meaning
Nigerians that the Nigerian Army remains a
national institution which emphasizes peace,
unity and mutual co-existence devoid of any
sentiments or such variables as ethnic, tribe
or religious differences. Any attempt by any
individual or group of persons to associate
the military and indeed the Nigerian Army
with such will be a total waste of time,
energy and resources. We are proud
professionals bound by discipline,
unflinching love, loyalty, espirit-de-corps and
love for our colleagues and our country. We
would remain focussed and would not be
distracted by irritating campaigns of calumny
or fabricated lies by some unscrupulous
elements.
It is therefore very imperative at this point
to warn all those mischief makers to desist
from these unpatriotic and obviously
subversive acts in any guise.
Thank you for your usual cooperation.
Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman
Acting Director, Army Public Relations |
