A High Court sitting in Itu, Akwa Ibom State, Friday ordered the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen.
Tukur Buratai, to apologise to the Clan Head of Oku Iboku, Ubong Okokon, within 20 days over infringement of his fundamental rights by officers of the Nigerian Army in the state.
He described Akwa Ibom State Government as responsible and responsive, stressing that although the Army officers were engaged in the investigation of the missing boats, they were not mandated to maltreat and humiliate the traditional ruler. Otong held that even if the monarch was a suspect, the affected officers ought to have treated him with some modicum of respect.
