The Nigerian Army has condemned the attack on its personnel over the weekend at Banex Plaza, Abuja. This was contained in a statement by the Director, Army Public Relations, Maj-Gen Onyema Nwachukwu, on Tuesday in Abuja.
DAILY POST recalls that the Nigerian Army shut down Banex Plaza , a shopping complex located in the Wuse 2 area of the Federal Capital Territory, following an attack on some of its personnel over the weekend. According to the statement, a swift intervention by soldiers and policemen on internal security duties salvaged the situation and rescued the attacked personnel from being lynched by the hoodlums.
He said the development calls for an extensive investigation to determine both the immediate and underlying causes of the incident. Nwachukwu added that the investigation ultimately aims at ensuring the security of the Federal Capital Territory and preventing such unwarranted attacks on its personnel and other security operatives, as has been observed in other areas, such as the unfortunate attack in Okuama.
