Emerging report reaching US, reveals that the Nigerian Army may have begun a ‘clamp them down operation’, for Soldiers suspected to be engaging in political meetings, to topple the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
The source said that some arrests may have been made, but that the information was being kept as top secret, so as not to add to the public tension.
Recall, that on Tuesday, the Chief Of Army Staff, TY Buratai, had issued a strong warning to Soldiers, to steer clear of politics.
The Army Chief, had advised Officers and Soldiers interested in politicking, to resign from the service, as any Officer caught, would be severely penalised.
Three days after the alert, Buratai went to Buhari’s home town, Daura, where he inaugurated the Army unit, and paid a courtesy call on the Emir of Daura, Dr Faruk Umar.
The Army Chief, at the ceremony, had said the establishment of the unit, was to enhance security in parts of 1 Division, which Daura town fell under.
The top Army source, stated that the Army knew quite well the weight of its statement on politicking Soldiers in the country, and had already followed up with high intelligence-driven search, adding that, the public groups and civil societies could not be more rigorous than the Army.
Other sources maintained that some of the suspected political meetings were held under the guise of some of the recently redeployed 147 Soldiers and Officers, allegedly trying to familiarise with their new hosts.
When contacted on the measures the Army was taking on the alert of Soldiers hobnobbing with Politicians, the Army source said the Army was a professional service, and would not hesitate to brief the public, if it considered the information as necessary.
He said: “The Army is a disciplined and professional service. We relate well with the Nigerian public. When there is need to disclose information, we will.”
