BEVERLY HILLS, November 14, (THEWILL) – The Nigerian Army has dismissed as ‘false’, social media reports that it had imposed a restriction of movement in Maiduguri.
Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 7 Division, Col. Kingsley Samuel, made the clarifications in a statement issued on Wednesday in Maiduguri.
Samuel said that the military did not enforce a restriction on travellers, adding that the report was mischievous and designed to cause a breach of peace in the state.
“The attention of the Nigerian Army, 7 Division, has been drawn to the circulation on social media of a purported travel time restrictions in Maiduguri.
“The statement is completely false and clearly a mischief intended to misinform, cause disaffection and a breach of peace. At no time was such a statement issued by anyone on travel time restrictions,” he said.
