The Nigerian Army has described as false, news making the rounds that it has imposed time restriction on travellers in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
The denial is contained in a statement issued and made available to Naija News on Wednesday in response to the rumour by Col. Kingsley Mfon Samuel, Deputy Director, Army Public Relations on Wednesday.
“The attention of 7 Division Nigerian Army has been drawn to a circulation on social media of a purported travel time restriction on travellers to Maiduguri.”
“The statement is completely false and clearly a mischief intended to misinform, cause disaffection, and breach the peace. At no time was any such statement issued by anyone on any travel time restriction.”
“Once more for the avoidance of doubt the general public is please informed that there is no travel time restriction of any kind emanating from 7 Division or signed by anyone.”
“The good people of Borno and other law abiding visitors are enjoined to go about their lawful businesses and continue to avail the security agencies with timely information to counter insurgency and other sundry crime,” the statement said.
