The
Theatre Command of Operation Lafiya Dole witnessed a riotous reaction
from unscrupulous troops while conducting a redeployment of troops
who are currently deployed at the Maiduguri Airport, following a
directive to review troops' deployment in Maiduguri metropolis in a
bid to reinvigorate the security architecture of the city.
Colonel
Onyema Nwachukwu, Deputy Director Public Relations said the
redeployment became expedient after a recent assessment of the
security situation by the Theatre Command.
“Regrettably
however, a few of the troops who had misunderstood the
development and erroneously assumed it was going to negatively affect
their rotation from the theatre of operation became agitated and
reacted by firing into the air.
“Calm
has however been restored, as the Theatre Commander, Major General
Abba Dikko has promptly taken charge of the situation after
addressing and admonishing the troops.
“The
Theatre Command undoubtedly considers this ugly incident quite
regrettable and appropriate measures are being taken to forestall a
recurrence.”
