Nigerian Army denies forceful eviction of retired officer

The Nigerian Army has dismissed reports on the eviction of a retired army officer from his residence in Enugu State.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Director of Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, noted that the reports were aimed at tarnishing the force’s image.

He also described as outright falsehood reports on the brutalization of the officer’s wife, and children.
