Nigeria Army To Probe Cases Of Police Brutality Against Soldiers Since 2019

The Nigeria Army is set to conduct an investigation into all cases of Police brutality against its Soldiers from 2019 to date.

This information is contained in a statement signed by Maj. Gen. J.A Ataguba on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff, Maj. Gen. Farouk Yahaya.

The Army said the investigation has become necessary judging by the increasing rate at which its Soldiers are constantly brutalised and sometimes killed in the line of duty by Policemen, even after identifying themselves as personnels of the Nigeria Army. 

The Army authorities stated that the investigation is to evaluate the occurrences with a view to establishing the frequency and recommend possible remedial measures to stem the tide.
