Indictment of Army on Rivers polls misguided—CSOsBy Mod - 14 minutes ago - [ Update ]

PORT HARCOURT—THE amalgamation of Civil Society Organisations, CSOs, has described as unnecessary and misguided the indictment by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and allegations of professional misconducts on the Nigerian Army during the suspended polls in Rivers State.

The coalition also apologised on behalf of people of the state to the Army “over the unguided statements against it by some politicians in the state,” presenting a letter to the GOC, 6 Division.

Col. A.D Abubakar, who received the solidarity letter for the GOC, 6 Division, noted that the document would be forwarded to the appropriate office.

Chancellor of International Society for Social Justice and Human Rights, ISSJHR, Dr. Jackson Omenazu, yesterday, in Port Harcourt, during a solidarity walk to the 6 Division Headquarters with placards, said: “We are here to condole and commend the 6 Division, Nigerian Army for being professional in your conduct during the polls and for the loss of your officers.

Rivers Election Violence: IPND condemns killings, advocates peaceful guber, state assembly polls

“Without your presence and intervention, the election would have been characterised by killings, just like what we had in 2015 when the state was described as a theatre of war.

“We are standing by the General Officer Commanding, GOC, 6 Division for providing adequate security during the election in the state.”
