Stop illegal militarisation of elections in Nigeria by Femi Falana vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The Court of Appeal condemned the illegal militarisation of the election. Embarrassed by the judicial indictment the authorities of the Nigerian Army probed the intimidation of voters in Ekiti State and flushed out the military personnel who exposed the Nigerian Armed Forces to ridicule.
Yesterday, the Nigerian Army reacted to the report of the fact finding committee set up by the Independent National Electoral Commission which investigated the circumstances surrounding the postponement of the Rivers State governorship election. In rejecting the indictment of the military personnel who engaged in the intimidation and killing of unarmed voters in Port Harcourt the Nigerian Army has justified its intervention in the election.
Provided that the Commission shall only request for the employment of the Nigerian Armed Forces only for the purposes of securing the distribution and delivery of election materials and protection of elections officials. “
