A shocking allegation has been leveled against the Nigerian Army, accusing two politicians, Ternenge Moses and Livinus Tsav, of using army personnel as their personal army to intimidate, assault, and harass citizens. A law firm representing the victims has written to the army authorities, demanding justice and compensation.
According to the letter, the politicians have been misusing army personnel, instructing them to carry out unlawful activities, including beating and molesting citizens. This has dragged the reputation of the Nigerian Army into disrepute.
The victims are demanding N5 million in compensation for the dehumanizing treatment meted out to them. They are also calling for disciplinary action against the errant personnel.
The law firm expressed confidence in the Nigerian Army’s ability to address the situation, citing its reputation for discipline and adherence to the rule of law. The army has been urged to take immediate action to restore its image and ensure that its personnel do not become tools for politicians to perpetrate violence against citizens.
