In a statement on Monday evening, the spokesperson for the 6 Division headquartered in Port Harcourt, Aminu Iliyasu, a colonel, said “regrettably” the army’s submissions during the sitting of the INEC’s fact-finding committee in Port Harcourt last week were not reflected in the statement issued by the electoral body on Saturday.
Then, the army went frontal, saying INEC failed to report the violence in which two soldiers fell victims of brutal attacks allegedly by police aide and thugs of Governor Nyesom Wike at the Obio Akpor Local Government Area collation on the night of March 9.
Consequently, after due consultations and considerations between 6 Division and the Rivers State Police Command on Sunday the 10th of March 2019, the Rivers State Police Command, on their own, – took the initiative to invite the media to the hospitals where the 2 victims are receiving treatment and thereafter to host a press conference on the matter with the view to dissociate itself from the unprofessional conduct exhibited by their men attached to Wike and tell the public what disciplinary...
To this end, – in the circumstance, – the 6 Division NA as a stakeholder in the 2019 General Elections takes exception to the lopsided and therefore unfair INEC report and is hereby strongly and totally rejected by the NA.
HQNigerianArmy DefenceInfoNG , What happened at Rivers State was an all time low. This reaction only confirms the fact you were definitely not neutral. Nigerian Army is to support the police in upholding law and order.Hope you don't go after INEC cos of their fact based report!

How can the army feel betrayed when it initially dismissed the soldiers as thugs? Person no understand anything for this country again o.

Nope ...you betrayed your responsibility and the people. The earlier your admit this, apologize and start redeeming you image, the better for you. Stop the propaganda tactics and bellated boko haram ego stories.
U brought shame to the army
Una dey learn
But how?
INEC didn't invite you in the first place. So what the hell were you doing there.
PChikams Father told me about Nigerians Army of 1960, to 1988. That's when you guys stop to function as armies of our dreams country Nigeria
PChikams Great Shame and disgrace to you guys so-called Nigerians Army, you people are bringing disgrace and shame, Embarrassment. I remember when my
PChikams One by one the whole world would disown you guys, you are not worth the Nigerians our founding fathers created for and believing in, it is a
PChikams Before; as such you guys compromised original assignment, just to take commands from a politician, who is not worth to command even a police
PChikams That fit you guys because you guys call Army/Soldiers are wicked agency in this country, not the Nigerian Army/ soldiers my father work with
Nigerian army are bunch of thugs in the hand of Rotimi Amaechi in River State. Ballot box snatchers and murderers . The innocent lives you cut down will not go down unpunished .
Better if the Nigeria military can just shot up.
HQNigerianArmy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Humility is a divine vaccine against intellectual aberrations. It is pride that is responsible for the derailment of man's intellectual faculties. Poisoned by pride, can lose its footing and suffer from intellectual dizziness🙆♂ intellectual epilepsy😂 they have lost trust.
Zombie people una never see anything yet
Read the article, not just comment from headlines. Nigerians sef
Nonsense how did you even get into the process of elections that you're crying of betrayal? We're you people contesting
Story for the neondathals!
The Nigerian army should go to Southern Kaduna and work for their salary. They should not be close to polling units
Shame on u all so called soldiers...nothing more than glorified ballot box snatchers and murderes
I don't even get it for the betrayal, that's INEC should sing cumbaya for Rigging the Elections for Unknown party in the state because of Ameachi,
I wonder who wrote this statement for them, I'm not sure the fellow finished secondary school. Looks like a kind defence a primary school pupil would make.
This is shameful.
We are disappointed at you guys simple
Nig is not worth d sweat n blood of any soldier, nothing u do can ever b appreciated. 100s of sldrs hav realised this especially with d comments on social media. I think its high time D pres allow d police alone 2 face any internal probs. Which ever way it is, dey wl accept it
Its a shame that inecnigeria would politicize security to undermine the selfless efforts of the HQNigerianArmy in R/S elections Even the REC, Obo Effanga uses Soldiers as part of his personal security. If only R/S was that save Perhaps soldiers were also foisted on him, abi?
Betrayed in what way oooo
Funny people, I just can't imagine America army saying this to it's electoral body, so shameful
Did anyone of you even read the news in the link... Y'all just commenting based on headline
U betrayed Nigerians by been partisan and to be involved in election at all
Really? With all the videos and later damage control? You should bury your pride and apologize to INEC and Nigerians affected
Then steer clear of INEC ballot boxes
They both betrayed the Nigerian pple.INEC planned rigging the elections with d NA which in turn messed up the process having no training and moral justification to be involved in the election process in the first place.The elections fell short of every known electoral standards.
The Army is a disgrace to Nigerian electorates. Its a shame how the army debased itself in the hands of politicians.
The Nigeria Army were fully involved in the collation of results
How much did Amaechi give Nigerian Army? Why is Burutai set to destroy one of our greatest institution. This is worrisome.
Nigerian Army you are receiving what you deserve, when you allowed your reputation to be dragged on the mud. Continue, you Neva see something.
Look at them.
HQNigerianArmy Betrayed? Firstly, The Nigerian Army had no business interfering with Elections, you have killer Herdsmen,Boko haram,Iswap all in the NE,kaduna is on fire bt you became thugs in the hands of Politicians to rig elections inecnigeria has no business wit You!
The worst video was HQNigerianArmy men in the kitchen of an inecnigeria ad-hoc staff running up-and-down. Maybe they are thugs in army uniform with military guns. 😂 What a shame.
Taa
What is NA doing at collation centre? U guys have lost it.
Did INEC actually invited you guys in the first instance? Apparently, you went out of your own volition, so cry not about betrayal, and stop this ur hypocrisy of acting as the bereaved.
INEC did not invite you. Your CIC sent you and you stated you only obeyed orders from him alone even when people cautioned you. Please withdraw from ALL future elections , we will sort ourselves out.
Who called You, Inec or Ameachi? Ooh! You disguised under Inec to run things for Ameachi abi?Una fall our hands. Pls clean up your acts and redeem your self esteem. Some of us like una too much for the kind rubbish wey we see. Cheers
Then, you should stay away from Inec office in Rivers, because your services is no longer needed
Nigerians feel betrayed by you - go figure.
What are the victims doing at the collation centres?
NA also disappoint rivers people make l hear word
God punish them for saying that rubbish
Things fall apart.
What HQNigerianArmy did in rivers state governorship election is highly condemnable. Soldiers where been used to write results across all local government areas in the state that day. Thanks you inecnigeria for saying the truth.
Nigerian army have become a political party that's the reason there is insurgents everywhere in the country
How?
Nigerians feel betrayed by the Army for turning a civic affair into a warfare.
Your strength is only willed at civilians. Yesterday, BK committed atrocities in Adammawa. Where were you guys? De there de disgrace una self
I pray this issue of soldiers reviewing their collaboration with police in rivers state isn't real cos I wonder how police will secured that state without soldiers
Reverse Psychology... you guys are down playing on the intelligence of Nigerians!! Quite a shameful and a shit show of the army in its initial statement claimed those people in military fatigues were not their personnels.Too many stories that doesn't check out!
Nigerians and hypocritical nature.Haven't see anyone condemning wike for his violent nature by encouraging and supporting thugs to cause mayhem.
Yen yen yen
u should feel betrayed because u compromised your profession and inec is not by your side.
Imagine Wonders shall never die NIGERIAN Army said they feel betrayed by INEC Hmmm After NIGERIAN Army are working hand 2 hand wit BOKO HARAM&Fulani Terrorist, 4 continuous killin & again you now fully cameout boldly 2 killed NIGERIANS without fears He no go better NIGERIAN Army
Betrayed for what?Stay clear from election which is a simple democratic exercise.Go to the north east and show your force.
People should Read the NA's report before commenting on issues
I use to respect HQNigerianArmy until this past election where bloody civilians were ordering our gallant soldiers & they were busy obeying, shooting guns, hijacking ballot boxes & invading collation centres... We are more disappointed at you guys
So stay away. You're not invited
Can you imagine?Nigeria Army talking the way an average politician will do...
Lwkmd!
You betrayed yourselves. You made your integrity to be sold cheaply by APC and Ameachi .Hold them responsible for your betrayal and not INEC and the people. Obedience to the law is better than sacrifice to APC
Army and election shouldn't be in the same sentence. The NA doesn't know its place in a democracy. messycountry
What concerns the army with elections, anyway? Your involvement betrayed you even though INEC have their own axe to grind as they contend with their conscience for failing Nigeria by rigging for the powers that be. So NA, go back to the barracks
Inec,Npf & FG betrays NA despite their immense contribution in ensuring election were held peaceful across the Nation and loosing some of their officers to militants & thugs.
The Nigeria army have become useless these days. I'm still searching for the insult for u guys
River State needs God intervention.
Nigeria is directionless
What are you guys doing in Rivers State? Nigeria army should be in Kaduna or sambisa forest.
I think we should be fair in condemning the Army involvement in Elections. If not 4 them in many places,more casualties would have been on record.Our politicians should learn to contest elections in a peaceful way. To serve Nigerians should not be by force.
Story election na ur work.abi u miss road.
Who call for your help? Busy body people
Yes inec betrayed them because the Army where told by those they where working for that inec is with them too.
Betrayed you.. how? when? and why? What a shame😎
Hmmmm! No comments. But only hope the managers of the HQNigerianArmy SM handles are reading these views from concerned citizens.
Gun-totting ballot box snatchers!!! 🙄🙄🙄
Even Evans is feeling betrayed
Just as Nigerians felt betrayed by you
HQNigerianArmy DefenceInfoNG Despite all the Army deployed and people killed, what have you been able to achieve? Akwa Ibom, Delta, Cross River and by God's grace Rivers still have OfficialPDPNig Governors. You have failed and a great dis Service to our Nation
i doff my hat for the brave and galant NA however, I believe there’s room from improvement. Everyone knows Elections in rivers is almost like a war zone.
This is what our military has been reduced to.
Just don't get involve in election matters beyond constitutional requirements. These back and forth would have been avoided if not for the fact that army got involved directly in elections.
Betrayed?😑😂 Una plan dem burst una ahbi? This is getting interesting😅
We are not surprised even when some Soldiers were seeing entering into somebody's Kitchen
Let it be on the records that you have no role whatsoever in the just concluded elections. You just assumed a responsibility that has no root in our constitution. So what ever Inec says is correct
Betrayed? That's wonderful hearing this; it has been a combined business. Nigeria is in a mess.
The role of NA in the Rivers State election is a source of concern for the country to say the least, I don't understand where the betrayal from INEC is coming from. The best thing you should do now is to investigate and sanction your erring officers.
Go back to barrack..you have no business with election...it a civil responsibility for civilian...
is this a professional institution? The army has sank beyond redemption what a fable woman's response... Disease infected
Na wah o
Actually, INEC did not betray the Nigerian Army.. The Nigerian Army Significantly betrayed INEC This is because the actions of some of their men almost derailed and shattered our election. It made the election UNFAIR Am glad INEC had the boldness to speak up and not be cowed
Mob
Zombies Sambisa is your home, the blood of Nigerians will cry for Vengeance. You are supposed to defend but you have become killer Machine of the Tyrant.. Shame on you
The Army betrayed the Nigerian people.
Betray ko... Betray ni...Carry your cross jariii
We Nigerians have long been betrayed by the NA
Really Well I have a prayer for you Nigerian Army thunder fire you people there after killing Nigerians like chicken you people can't apologize
You guys can feel betrayed by INEC, but Nigerians feel highly disappointed in the Nigerian Army. We don't have powers to release Press Statements but we know clearly that the NA has disappointed Nigerians.
What business do army have with INEC?
Disgusting.
Because you guys reduced yourselves to zero!!! Shame on you all
Mamood, S, INEC, the judiciary is controlled by wike and to perform your duty contrary to Wike,s dictates makes you an enemy. Wike, s enemies are Yakuboo, s enemy. I sympathize with you.
Biggest joke of the century.
How is a Democratic process (Election) be a business of the army? Nawa o
'Betrayed'? The Army is meant to stay away from politics. The Army threw it's reputation & credibility to the gutters.

Army Counters INEC, Says Wike’s Security Aides Attacked Soldiers At Rivers Collation Centre | Sahara Reporters'Captain Adams Salami was shot at close range by the security aides of Governor Wike, while Corporal Adeosun Adebayo was macheted by Governor Wike’s thugs.' So the prestigious Nigerian Army too has become one of the political parties to be replying INEC Na wa oo. But Army said soldiers were not involved in the election.
