In A State Government Press Release Issued On Saturday 14 Oct 2017 In Umuahia The State Capital Governor Ikpeazu Sternly Warned The Nigerian Millitary To Rein It's Officers Who Are Being Accused.

Ikpeazu Accused Them Of "subjecting Members Of The Civil Populace In The State To Corporal Punishments, And Most Times Extortion Of Money For No Just Cause".

The Statement Read In Full :

The Unwholesome Activities Of Some Men Of The Nigerian Army Who Have Formed The Habit Of Subjecting Members Of The Civil Populace In The State To Corporal Punishments And Most Times Extortion Of Money For No Just Cause Has Reached The Government Of Abia State.

This Is More Prevalent Along The Bende-umuahia Road, Ohafia Township And Within Aba And It's Environs.

These Acts Are Not Only Illegal And Extremely Provocative, They Are Also Capable Of Triggering Off Some Form Of Civil Unres

While The State Government Has Always Indicated Its Preparedness To Cooperate With All Security Agencies In Their Lawful Operations Within The State, We Shall Not Condone A Situation Where The Presence Of The Army In The State Becomes A Platform To Assault The Basic Rights Of Our People And Subject Them To Inhuman And Degrading Treatment Without Any Lawful Excuse.

The Commander Of The 14 Brigade Ohafia And Indeed All Heads Of Army Formations In The State Are By This Notice Requested To Closely Monitor The Activities Of Their Men In The Field And Ensure That These Untoward Practices Are Stopped At Once.

The Government Of Abia State Shall No Longer Condone This Unwarranted Assault On The People Of The State. Our People As Law Abiding Citizens Are Fully Deserving Of Their Basic Freedoms And Fundamental Rights To Life, Personal Liberty And Dignity Of The Human Person.

These Rights Are Guaranteed Under The 1999 Constitution Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria The Same Law Which The Army Derives It's Authority..

Sorry Ikpeazu anyone who bring rotten logs home must learn to deal with termites, what were you expecting when you were deceived by you Fulani masters to invite the Army

Nigeria Army should go to sambisa forest to show their mighty or better go n confront Almighty northKorea army other militarys r busy preparing 4 www3 or showing d world how strong them r BT here they only how to punish unarmed civilians
Them hav final make d masses not to trust them anymore piple r now rejecting their free medical treatment

what's the source? what's the sauce? what's the socks?

If this is truly from the Government House then it is a good development.

A good leader must protect his people's interests within the ambit of the law

I still find it difficult to understand why the military is unleashed to the populace especially in the south east.

Had a terrible experience with them at that same bende road

These Rights Can Only Be Tampered With In Accordance With Laid Down Legal Procedures And Not According To The Whims And Caprices Of Individual Army Officers.
