GOC 82 Div, Maj-Gen Taoreed Lagbaja
By CHARLES IWUOHA
The Army has described as fake a video making the rounds on social media where soldiers were seen shooting in a local community environment.
The video is claimed to have been taken somewhere in Isi-Nwgu Mgbowo, Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State.
But the Army spokesperson at the 82 Division Enugu, Abubakar, Abdullahi said on Monday that nothing of that nature happened in Enugu.
He confirmed that there was a raid in the community but said the military was not involved in the operation.
Further investigations revealed that the house of a suspect who is believed to be the brain behind most recent crimes in the area was burnt in a midnight raid on the community.
It is not yet clear as at the time of this report which of the security agencies carried out the operation.
But the confirmation of the time of the raid which happened in the dead of the night does not appear to match the video which was shot in daylight.
