'Beware of campaign of calumny by Members of Islamic Movement of Nigeria'- Nigerian Army warns

Press release by Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman,
Acting Director Army Public Relations on Dec. 23.
"The Nigerian Army is aware of clandestine
campaign of calumny and misinformation
on the incident of 12 December 2015 in
Zaria by a group of high ranking members
of Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) led
by one Doctor Abdullahi Danladi, a Lecturer
at Ahmadu Bello University Zaria.
Earlier today he was at the University soliciting
for support and telling lies about the
circumstances surrounding the incident and the
incident itself. He also went further to make false
and unfounded allegations of casualty figures and
desecration of burial grounds. It is preposterous
and shows lack of concern and respect for peace
and tranquility.
So much as the Nigerian Army has reported the
matter before the appropriate agencies and action
is being taken, it would not sit back and allow
some mischievous elements in the society to
further create unnecessary tension and
disaffection in the society.
This attitude will not be tolerated where people
abuse their privileged position to mislead the
public, create disaffection.
Therefore, Nigerians and indeed all well meaning
people are please enjoined to be patient and
await the outcome of the various enquiries
instituted by various government and Non-
governmental agencies.
Additionally, Doctor Abdullahi Danladi and like
minded individuals should be warned to desist
from telling lies and misrepresentation of facts
capable of misleading the general public"
