NO FRACAS BETWEEN NUJ ABIA STATE AND SOLDIERS ON PATROL IN UMUAHIA
The
attention of 14 Brigade Nigerian Army, has been drawn to social media
publications alleging that troops on patrol in Umuahia town have invaded
the NUJ Press Centre in Umuahia at about 10.00am today.
While it
was true there was an issue between some soldiers on routine patrol,
the magnitude is not as was reported. What happened was that while the
soldiers on patrol near the Abia State NUJ Secretariat, they noticed
some people filming them. Unfortunately, they seized and damaged their
recording devices; an iPad and 2 mobile phones. Preliminary
investigation shows that the items belongs to journalists on their
legitimate duties. Consequently, the Commander 14 Brigade and Deputy
Director Army Public Relations 82 Division waded into the matter which
has since been resolved amicably.
In addition, the soldiers involved will face disciplinary action.
The public are please requested to eschew rumour mongering and go about their lawful business.
Major Oyegoke Badamosi Assistant Director Public Relations 14 Brigade
