Nigerian Army speaks on ‘tribal war’ in Enugu Barracks

The 82 Division, Nigerian Army, Enugu on Friday reacted to news of
tribal war in the barracks.

Colonel, Sagir Musa, Deputy Director, Public Relations, in a statement
said the same "mischievous message was circulated in April and May
2017 and was adequately addressed by HQ 82 Division and the Army
Headquarters."

It stated that the report was totally false, insisting there was no
ill feeling, grumbling or complain in Abakpa cantonment Enugu or in
any army barracks in the South East Nigeria.

"The general public is hereby again enjoined to disregard this satanic
message in its entirety as it is aimed at causing disaffection among
the cohesive troops of the Division and to distract the Nigerian Army
in discharging its noble constitutional roles of ensuring peace and
security across the nation.

"The Division wishes to request interested individuals or groups to
visit the Headquarters 82 Division/Abakpa cantonment and freely
interact with troops with the view to verifying the falsity or
otherwise of the issue", it concluded.
