Nigerian Army releases phone numbers to report ‘erring’ officers

Faced with the responsibility to curtail the spread of COVID-19 in the country, federal and state governments have adopted restriction of movements by ordering lock-down of some states

Those saddled with the responsibility to make sure citizens adhere to the order are Army officers and other security personnel in the country.

However, amidst discharging of their duties, it has been gathered that some certain officers, have been torturing Nigerians on the streets as shown in some videos being circulated on social media. These videos have since been dismissed by Army authority as fake

To guide against these ugly incidents and curb the misconducts of officers, the Nigerian Army has released phone numbers that Nigerians can contact and or send messages to through WhatsApp (to share pictures and videos of such) when the need arises.

In a new post on its Twitter page, the military wrote: “Report any unprofessional conduct by Nigerian army personnel during Covid-19 lockdown.

“Send text or WhatsApp message, video or audio recordings and pictures to these numbers; 07017222225, 09060005290,08099900131, 08077444303 .

“Messages should contain exact location, date and time of the incident”
