The Nigerian Army has denied rumours peddling on social media that the Nigerian Army is embarking on a medical outreach and injecting civilians with vaccines.





According to a statement released by the Deputy Director of Public Relations Col. Aminu Iliyasu, the Army would never embark on medical outreach in schools.

Though the Nigerian Army plans to undertake such gestures like free medical outreaches, sanitation exercises in host communities and distribution of educational materials as part of our community relations activities during the ongoing Operation CROCODILE SMILE II, these activities are yet to be conducted.

The statement reads

“The attention of Headquarters 6 Division Nigerian Army has been drawn to some rumours making the rounds that some Nigerian Army Personnel are going round schools in Rivers State dressed in Military Camouflage uniforms with the intention of forcefully vaccinating students with an unknown substance. The callous and unpatriotic rumours spread by these enemies of State are, to say the least, despicable, deplorable and highly condemnable by all well meaning Nigerians as they are intended to cause pandemonium among the general public.

“The authorities of 6 Division Nigerian Army wishes to inform the general public that while the Nigerian Army plans to undertake such gestures like free medical outreaches, sanitation exercises in host communities and distribution of educational materials as part of our community relations activities during the ongoing Operation CROCODILE SMILE II, these activities are yet to be conducted and will eventually be conducted with the consent of relevant authorities of designated communities and at venues and dates that will be duly communicated to the general public through future press releases and relevant posters.

“For the purpose of emphasis, the Nigerian Army does not and will never carry out its medical outreaches or vaccination exercises for that matter in Schools. We can therefore categorically inform the public that the ongoing rumours about Nigerian Army Personnel going round schools in military camouflage to forcefully immunize school children are not true and should therefore be discountenanced with. Additionally, members of the public are please requested to call 09072509436-8 to report any case of any impostor(s) that may be seen actually trying to commit such atrocities.

“You are kindly requested to disseminate this information to the general public through your medium. Thank you for your usual cooperation.

Social Media with fake news.

So all the picture u saw today of pupils running are students doing inter house sports abi?

impact of bloggers hasn't been this bad in the Nigeria economy..

It is tactless of the Nigerian Army to take a defensive position on information
dissemination and worse still, they wait days to respond to critical issues.

I won't be surprised if another story springs up tomorrow.

It took them how many weeks to respond to this heavy allegation?

And no arrests have been made?

These guys think we're fools?

Their whole operation has failed woefully and now they're making flimsy denials.

I never believed the fake news

I said it that this boy running didn't see armies, he saw shakau himself..


This clearly shows that Nigerian soldiers had evil motives for actually embarking on monkeypox outreach.

thankGod, my Igbo ppl r not daft as Benue, afonja or the fulanis.


these children r rumor mugger.


For all the gullible afonjas who actually believed in what this soldiers said, you will die by there guns n they will deny being responsible before this year ends.

Amen

Hmmmmm
