Army raises probe panel over alleged misconduct against its personnel
The Nigerian Army yesterday said a committee has been set up by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai to investigate the alleged interference of military personnel in election processes across the country.
Colonel Musa said: “The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a publication by an online medium that reported accusation against the NA of interference in the Rivers State elections. “The NA has also drawn the attention of the public to mischievous activities of some selfish individuals who recruited thugs dressed in military uniform and armed to harass and intimidate their opponents.
“The NA has made it clear that its only interest and role in the entire electioneering processes is purely to assist civil authority and the Nigerian Police to have a secure and peaceful conduct of the elections.
