This was noted in an announcement discharged on saturday by the executive Army Public Relations armed force Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman.
It peruses;
'The consideration of the Nigerian Army has been attracted to media reports and photo of the carcass of one Mr. George of Ogijo, Ogun State, professedly "killed" by troops of 174 Battalion Ikorodu. The story and the photo were apparently shared by one Mr. Kenny Abel Adesanya through his twitter handle. In any case, examination have affirmed that the claim is not valid, rather it was invention of Mr. Adesanya's creative energy borne out of fiendishness, contempt for the Nigerian Army and endeavor to occupy consideration from those that submitted the devious demonstration.
For the evasion of uncertainty, the area where the episode occurred, Ogijo, is in Ogun State and 174 Battalion does not have any arrangement there, neither do any of our troops watch the zone.
To further brace this reality, a group was despatched to Ogijo Divisional Police Station, Ogun State, to explore the matter. It was affirmed that the occurrence goes back to eighth March 2017, one Mr. George (now late), was debilitated by the child of his landowner that he will welcome his officer companions to come and beat him for neglecting to pay his lease which was long past due. On the said day, the inhabitant was taken from the compound by three young fellows and pummeled. The case was accounted for to Ogijo police headquarters. The gatherings included were captured and their announcements taken.
From that point, the police needed to charge the matter to court for which the occupant and the proprietor decided on out of court settlement. The young fellows who did the beating were neither captured nor their character determined by the police. The police guaranteed the proprietor child said he utilized his companions. The case was however regarded as attack and released. No report was sent to the military specialists in light of the fact that no trooper was included.
On 24th March 2017, the said occupant Mr. George passed on in his home and his carcass was taken to the facade of the landowner who immediately answered to the Ogijo Police Station. She was captured and the carcass was kept at the funeral home. The child of the landowner who is presently everywhere, is being chased by the police expert.
Subsequently, we wish to approach Mr. Adesanya every single other individual that mutual the story and the media to comprehend that Mr. George was not killed by any Soldier, not to mention those serving in 174 Battalion and ought to right this incorrect impression. Also, Mr Adesanya ought to render an open statement of regret to 174 Battalion specifically and the Nigerian Army, over this false claim, disappointment of which would draw in legitimate activity against him.
We might want to grab this chance to exhort that the media and to be sure individuals to constantly cross check their realities before production, posting on the web or communicate.
Much obliged to you for your kind collaboration.
