RE: APPEAL FOR CALM AND COMMITMENT TO JUSTICE REGARDING ALLEGATIONS BY NANS SOUTHWEST ZONE

The Commandant, Depot Nigerian Army, Osogbo, has noted with concern the press release by the National Association of Nigerian Students, Southwest Zone D, regarding alleged misconduct by some army personnel. The Depot wishes to reiterate that the Nigerian Army exists to protect all citizens, especially the youth, who are the future of the nation. Any conduct that falls short of that mandate is unacceptable. No student or law – abiding citizen should ever feel unsafe or be subjected to harassment, intimidation or assault by those entrusted with the security of lives and property.

In line with military regulations and the values of the Nigerian Army, the Commandant has ordered an investigation to ascertain the facts of the incident and bring perpetrators to justice. The NANS Southwest coordinator, Comrade Adeyemo Josiah Kayode, is kindly requested to make available all evidence and witness statements to enable a thorough investigation into the incident.

The Depot Nigerian Army Osogbo remains committed to ensuring that its personnel are held to the highest standards at all times. The alleged actions of the personnel do not reflect the training and character development of recruits at the Depot. We therefore give our firm assurance that any personnel found guilty will face the full weight of military law. The Commandant is ready to meet with the NANS leadership at the earliest convenience to agree on the way forward.

“They collected student’s phones, removed the SIM cards, and took the phones away. They also took power banks and money. They forced their way into the hostels, and they were not armed robbers—they were men in army uniforms.”

Big shame on DSS. They have always been failing Nigeria and Nigerians.

It's a big shame now that no backgrounds check on all officers. They just allowed rogues and criminals into the Nigeria Army.

The last time I saw some soldiers smoking Indian hemp while driving around in their vehicle. All of them look like drug addicts in their camo.

Imagine officers going into school hostels to rob students.

That's what you get when recruitment process into the Army and police force is dog shyte.
I bet you, those stupid new recruits are likely cultists, or the favoured children of your politicians - 'repentant bandits/terrorists'
