Troops Tackle Violent Protest in Abia
The attention of 82 Division Nigerian Army has been drawn to a
violent incident involving an individual identified as MR CHIMOBI
NNAORGU who allegedly lost his life from a gun shot injury
inflicted on him by unknown gunmen suspected to be a cultist in
camouflage T.SHIRT at UMUOKERE NGWA COMMUNITY IN OBINGWA LGA OF
ABIA STATE on Wednesday 7 AUGUST 2019.
This incident resulted in a breakdown of law and order as youths
in the community took law into their hands by burning down houses.
Troops of 144 Battalion with the assistance of other security
agencies have calm down the situation.
I wish to state categorically that 82 Division troops deployed
for any operation do not brutalised law abiding innocent citizens
in line with Nigerian Army code of conduct for internal security
operations. It is pertinent to state that the rumours trending in
the social media that the man was killed by a soldier for refusing
to give a bribe of #100.00 naira is false untrue and
misleading.
While investigation is on going to unravel the perpetrator of
this criminal act, our heartfelt prayers are with the family and
loved ones of Mr CHIMOBI.
