The Nigerian Army has described as false the claim by a Civil Society Organisation (CSO), the International Society for Civil Liberty and Rule of Law (Intersociety that it is colluding with killer herdsmen and bandits to terrorise the Southeast and Benue State.
The Army in a statement by the Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier-General Onyema Nwachukwu, however, accepted the possibility of “black sheep” in its ranks.
“The Nigerian Army is not by this reaction denying the presence of black sheep in its fold, just like in any other organization or institution. This, the Army is very mindful of and actively monitoring and effectively handling within the provisions of extant laws”, the statement said
The statement reads: “The attention of the Nigerian Army (NA) has been drawn to a libellous, spurious and derogatory narrative credited to one so-called International Society for Civil Liberty and Rule of Law (Intersociety), alleging that the Nigerian military, especially the NA is working with armed herdsmen/bandits to terrorise the Eastern part of the country and Benue state.
“A cursory look at the content reveals a business-as-usual pattern of propaganda by the well-known, paid jobbers and fifth columnists christened INTERSOCIETY, who after several failed attempts, still unrepentantly and shamelessly continues to dissipate its energy in mudslinging, all in a futile effort to drag the image and reputation of the NA in the mud, while promoting irredentists, lawless and outlawed organizations.
