The Nigerian Army, through Headquarters 6 Division, has refuted allegations of internal power struggle, welfare neglect and financial exploitation at the 90 Battalion, Koko.
A statement by the Acting Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Lt. Col. Danjuma Jonah Danjuma, described the allegations as unfounded, malicious and a desperate attempt at institutional blackmail.
The Army stressed that postings and deployments are routine exercises conducted strictly on professional grounds without religious or loyalty considerations.
According to the statement, the Commanding Officer of the battalion has continued to discharge his responsibilities professionally, adding that there are established channels for addressing grievances within the force.
The Division assured the public that any genuine case of misconduct would be investigated, urging residents of the Niger Delta to remain confident in the Army’s commitment to security.
