Who Are The Men in Army Uniform Destroying Farmlands in South-east and What is Their Motive for Doing So?
A few days ago a viral video showing men clad in the Nigerian Army Uniforms sported destroying Farmland in South-eastern Nigeria.
The action of the men in the video generated a lot of questions in the mind of Nigerians across the nation.
Some of the questions on the lips of many include: Who are the men in uniform? Why were they destroying innocent farmland? Could those men be Fulani herdsmen in Uniform? Are they on a mission to cause another war in the Southeast? Why is it necessary to destroy the farmland?
All the above questions are begging for answers.
You will recall that the Nigerian Army has distanced its personnel from a viral video on Social Media showing troop’s clad in Green Camouflage uniforms invading farms in the South-East and destroying crops.
Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, Director of Army Public Relations made this known in a statement on Saturday titled, ‘Disclaimer: Disregard Doctored Video Aimed at Denigrating the NA’.
It reads, “The attention of the Nigerian Army (NA) has been drawn to doctored video footage released by secessionist sympathisers on Youtube, featuring blurred images of some persons dressed in green camouflage destroying farmland in an undisclosed location, recently.
“However, following a fact-finding investigation on the video by subjecting it to credible reverse image, it was discovered that the video was first published on YouTube channel “BIAFRA BOY”.
“The investigation also revealed that the image of the men in green camouflage was deliberately blurred to conceal their identity from viewers.
“Given these facts, it is apparent that the video footage is deliberate propaganda to bring the reputation and image of the NA to disrepute by portraying personnel of the NA as enemies of the people.
“Members of the general public are please urged to be warry of such negative propaganda materials and subject them to thorough scrutiny.
“We reassure the general public that the Nigerian Army will continue to operate professionally regardless of all divisive propaganda.
“We assure all peace-loving Nigerians of our commitment to aid civil authorities in the containment of security challenges in line with constitutional provisions.”
Who are the men in uniform? Nigerians demand.
