Army Condemns, Threatens To Sue Those Sharing Photos Of Slain Personnel On Social Media

 

The Nigerian Army has condemned and threatened to sue those involved in sharing the graphic pictures of personnel who paid the supreme price in the cause of defending and protecting the country from its adversaries on social media.

In a statement by the Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima, “This act is not only unpatriotic but very insensitive and utterly reprehensible”.

According to him, the Nigerian Army considers this despicable and unpatriotic act totally unacceptable and will henceforth take legal actions to protect troops who die in action from being ridiculed on social media or any platform.

“Officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army deployed to various theatres of internal security operations are on legitimate duties and are in the harm’s way to defend and protect the country from those who are intent on destroying it".Brigadier General concluded.
