The Defence Headquarters says the Military cannot stoop so low to such extent to \u201cspy\u201d on one individual, as wildly and loosely alleged by the acclaimed Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho.
\nThe Acting Director, Defence Media Operations, Brig.-Gen. Benard Onyeuko, stated this in a statement in response to reports that military personnel who were spying on the residence of Igboho were apprehended.
\nOnyeuko said that it was alleged in a viral video that \u201csoldiers\u201d were seen being accused of having been sent by the Government to do a \u2018survey\u2019 of Sunday Igboho\u2019s Soka residence in Ibadan.
\nAccording to him, the self acclaimed \u2018Yoruba activist\u2019 also alleged that the action of the so-called \u201csoldiers\u201d was orchestrated by the Federal Government as a result of comments he made alleging that Yorubas are no longer a part of Nigeria.
\n\u201cWhile the Defence Headquarters has no interest dragging or joining issues with Sunday Adeyemo or his associates, it is pertinent to clear the air and address these allegations squarely.
\n\u201cFor the records, it should be noted that the Armed Forces of Nigeria, are highly professional in the discharge of their duties, with well-defined roles, responsibilities and duties in its mandate of securing the territorial integrity of the Nigerian Nation.
\n\u201cAs such, the Military cannot stoop so low to such extent to \u201cspy\u201d on one individual, as wildly and loosely alleged.
\n\u201cSecondly, the Armed Forces of Nigeria is a highly disciplined and professional organisation with extant laws and regulations which guide the actions of its personnel in the conduct of their duties.
\n\u201cAs such, it is practically impossible for military personnel on official duty to conduct themselves in such manner as alleged by Adeyemo and his cohorts,\u201d he said.
\nOnyeuko said that preliminary investigation had so far revealed that one of the alleged \u201csoldiers\u201d was a serial impersonator.
\nHe added that credible eye witnesses and sources had also revealed that some associates of Igboho went in pursuit of some individuals when the motorbike conveying the impersonator and one Nigerian Air Force personnel ran into them.
\nAccording to him, the duo were immediately apprehended and taken to the said \u201cIGBOHO House\u201d at Soka before Ibadan toll gate where they were branded as spies.
\n\u201cFurthermore, investigations are currently underway by Nigerian Air Force and the Nigerian Army to unravel the actual circumstances which played out on the day.
\n\u201cThe Defence Headquarters hereby warns individuals and groups to desist from disparaging the enviable reputation of the Nigerian Military by draDonald gging it into its petty issues to gain political mileage.
\n\u201cSuch actions will not be condoned in the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
