The attention of the Nigerian Army has been
drawn to a video clip in which two soldiers were seen maltreating a physically
challenged person for allegedly wearing a camouflage shirt.
Army
spokesman SK Usman said “we wish to inform the public that the incident took
place on Tuesday 7th February 2017, at Onitsha, Anambra State.”
Brigadier
General Sani Kukasheka USman who is the Director Nigeria Army Public Relation
added “in line with our zero tolerance for acts of indiscipline and
unprofessional conducts especially in relation to violation of human rights, we
wish to further state that the soldiers involved have since been identified and
apprehended.”
“They
have also been charged for assault by their Commanding Officer,” SK Usman.
Similarly,
troops have been warned to desist from such acts that infringe on human rights
and cast serious aspersions on the good image of the Nigerian Army.
The
public should please regard this ugly incident as an isolated case which is not
true reflection of the Nigerian Army.
