“The video, widely circulated online, especially on WhatsApp platforms by one Wisdom Ezema, a faceless character, notorious for his constant uploading of unverified contents on social media, is to say the least an embarrassment to the peace loving people of the council area, who over the years have maintained healthy relationship with both the military and paramilitary forces domiciled in Nsukka local government area.
“We, therefore, denounce the video and state without any reservation that there was no security breach of any sort let alone with the military in our domain.
“It is important to warn mischief makers who use the agency of the new media to vend false information to desist as they would be made to face the full weight of the law when apprehended.
“We commend the military, Police, Civil Defence, DSS and of course the Neighbourhood Watch and Forest Guards for their commitment to ensuring peace and security in the Council Area.
“We therefore call on our people, visitors and the general public to go about their businesses without fear of molestation as Nsukka local Government and indeed Enugu State in general have remained the safest place even in the face of the current security situation across the country,” Ugwueze submitted.
