The defence headquarters has warned individuals who obstruct
the movement of goods from one part of the country to the other to desist from
such acts or face the wrath of the law.
In a statement issued by Onyema Nwachukwu, acting director
for defence information, on Friday, the military said it will not tolerate any
attempt by “unscrupulous elements” who are aiming to disrupt legitimate,
economic and commercial activities to cause clashes along ethnic divides.
The military was reacting to a video that went viral on
social media which showed some people turning back trucks conveying
agricultural produce from the north to the southern part of the country.
How true is this video?

“The Defence Headquarters wishes to clarify that following the
tension generated by the incident, joint troops comprising the military and
other security agencies were deployed to clear the Jebba–Kaduna road and have
since restored normalcy in the general area. There is currently free flow of
traffic along the axis, ” the statement read.
“Members of the public, commuters and residents are please
urged to go about their normal businesses.
“This is also to give a stern warning to any unscrupulous
group or persons who are aiming at disrupting legitimate economic and
commercial activities by preventing free flow of traffic and movement of goods
in a bid to generate clashes along ethnic divides to desist from such
unpatriotic acts or face the wrath of the law.”
It further urged members of the public to promptly report anyone found engaged in such atrocious activities to security operatives.
