The acting director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, recently released a statement to the media, including Daily Trust which carried the story last Monday, claiming that the incident that happened on 26th July on the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway, between a convoy refusing to stop when those in it were asked to stop by the soldiers who were suspicious, due to the current security situation in the country, stated and emphasized how restrained, polite and civil the soldier and civil the soldiers had been.
This distinguished public relation officer seems to have been speaking for an army which “would continue to sacrifice their lives for the defence of this great nation” not the army of extortionist, looters, rapist and murderers who one year and two years and two days ago killed 34 people in cold blood., including “politely” torturing and killing three of my brothers on the same day, not to mention numerous atrocities too countless and too gory to repeat here.
If indeed he was speaking for a “Nigerian Army that wishes all Nigerians well,” then why is it that the murderers and destroyers of lives wear the same uniform, stay in the same barracks and use the same vehicles and weapons, as those who mean well if they wear the same uniform?
After five years of countless atrocities, why should anyone trust the Nigerian Army, when no one among its culpable personnel has ever been brought to justice, despite all the all-too graphic images and other pieces of equally weighty evidence?
