Meanwhile, there is truth to an allegation that soldiers manhandled civilians in Aba.
We have been going round Aba town and environs and I am yet to see or receive complain where our troops harassed or molested anyone.
The soldiers are indeed conducting themselves, though under the difficult situation, within the acceptable global standard.
Our Code of Conduct and Rules of Engagement on the exercise are clear, well-defined and are being obeyed by the troops. The public should, therefore, disregard such claims.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
