Former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe has commended the Officers and Men of the Nigerian Army for being professional in their engagement with the civil populace.

Senator Abaribe who condemned a section of social media reports that he had altercation with the Army somewhere in Obingwa, describing it as false.


Abaribe in a statement by his Media Adviser Uchenna Awom in Abuja on sunday, said it is laughable, the false report “that Soldiers humbled and delayed him at a checkpoint while returning from a burial in Obingwa last thursday”, saying rather the Soldiers at the said checkpoint were very courteous and professional in carrying out their duties.

“I was never accosted, delayed or approached in a disrespectful manner by the soldiers. My observation at the point was that of a professional force carrying out their duty in a most humane and respectful manner, despite the ugly events of the day.

“So, one wonders the motive of the author of the jaundiced and highly speculative report even to the conjecture from the said writer to have overheard me calling the State governor to intervene and also heard the reported negative reaction from the Governor. It nothing but a tissue of lies.


“I salute the Soldiers and reiterate my earlier statement condemning what happened last Thursday. That report is false and authored to achieve a devious political goal”, Abaribe said.
