Recall that there have been widespread allegations of partisanship, harassment and brutality by soldiers on some voters and staff of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, against the army, particularly officers of the 6 Division stationed in Port Harcourt.

Musa, in his reaction, however claimed that the army made its position clear before, during and after the elections, pointing out that the army had received commendations from the monitors of the elections for its role while the exercise lasted.

“Our position stands on the verdict given by local and foreign election monitors that commended the Nigerian Army for being professional, proactive, responsive and unbiased,” he said.
