The director, Army Public Relations, Brig Gen Onyema Nwachukwu stated this in a statement while reacting to a meme circulated online by one Solomon Okafor of Radio Biafra London.
The meme alleged complicity by troops in ‘a fictitious’ case of kidnapping of a family of 10 in Kaduna State, Nigeria.ADVERTISEMENT “While the NA would have ignored this merchant of falsehood, considering his lack of credibility, it is however instructive to put the records in proper perspective for the interest of unsuspecting members of the public, whom such misrepresentation could mislead.
“It must therefore be clarified that the said report is a creation of IPOB/ESN social media foot soldiers, with intent to malign the NA. “The picture bandied around on the social media is a picture of fake soldiers who were arrested in Lagos – Ondo states axis by troops of Operation CHECKMATE under 81 Division NA, sometime in April 2022. The operation was widely publicized in both the new and traditional media before handing over the suspects to the Nigeria Police” he said.
