The Defence Headquarters has
issued a stern warning to gunmen planning to disguise in military wears to
cause violence during Saturday’s off-cycle governorship elections in Kogi, Imo,
and Bayelsa states.
Director of Defence Media
Operations, Major General Edward Buba, warned that there would be injurious
consequences for their actions.
Buba warned that the Nigerian
military will not fold its arms and watch its image dragged into the mud during
Saturday’s election.
He issued the warning while
briefing journalists on military operations to counter threats of terrorists,
bandits/kidnappers, oil theft perpetrators and other forms of insecurity across
the country
“For the off-season elections in
Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi states this weekend, here is a message for you. The
military is deployed in strength for the election to create a safe environment
for voters to peacefully come out and cast their votes.
“However, we are aware of plans
of some to disguise in military gear to orchestrate havoc and disrupt elections
in some areas.
“Our message to such a group is
that there will be injurious consequences for such an action. The military will
not fold its arms and watch its image dragged to the mud,” he said.
