Nigerian Army point out those behind Nnamdi Kanu

Nigerian Army on Friday said politicians were behind the agitation by Nnamdi Kanu and his group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Director of Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman, in a statement, lamented that such persons were doing so for their selfish interest.

He said: “It is so sad and unfortunate that a particular group of people, for political expediency and mischief, are trying to set the military and Nigerian society against each other. It is sad and unfortunate.”

Usman described the face-off between the Army and members of IPOB in Abia as an isolated issue which was being blown out of proportion by some people.

These isolated incidences, instigated by miscreants and mischief makers, therefore, should not be taken as something that should jeopardise the military exercise going on in Abia State.

It is really sad and unfortunate that people will not find time to ask question about the essence and activities involved in respect of exercise Egwu Eke II (Python Dance II) before jumping into conclusion.

The exercise is taking part in the entire South East and Cross River, why should we have problem in one state "Abia". There is no reported problem in Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra, Enugu and Cross River States.

There is need for all of us to be more responsible, exercise understanding about the issues at hand, support and encourage the military to perform its legitimate duty. The exercise we are having has been scheduled since last year "2016". It is not targeted at any segment of the Nigerian society.

“As a matter of fact, it was because of the feedback and encouragement that we have about the conduct of exercise Python Dance I in 2016 that brought the idea of having another exercise.

Being a responsible organisation, people said Python Dance seems to be something awkward, so, why don’t you call it in the native language of the people so that they can understand it just like you have exercise Harbin Kunama.

“We have had exercises in other parts of the country. As soon as we are done with exercise Egwu Eke II, we are embarking on exercise Crocodile Smile II which is also a scheduled training exercise in the circle of the Nigerian army training year, 2017.

And this time around, beyond the South South Zone, it will be extended to the South West zone, involving 2 Division, 6 Division and 81 Division, noted  by the Army's spokesman.
