Nigerian Military High Command has warned that security agencies will not condone any act by individuals or group that is capable of causing breach to security and economic sabotage in the Niger Delta or in any part of the country.
According to Defence spokesperson, Rabe Abubakar, a Brigadier General, “the nation’s interest is above that of individual or group’s interest”.
Abubakar was reacting to some newspaper publications by a group of persons threatening to embark on acts of sabotage against the Nigerian state.
“In as much as the military recognizes the supremacy of the Constitution which guarantees freedom of expression and association, the constitution also frowns against individuals or groups hiding under it to stir up trouble and insecurity in the land.
“Any individual or groups who have genuine complain or grievances should use the available means of dialogue for amicable resolution but certainly not violence, as it will not be tolerated.
“The DHQ will continue to partner with other security agencies to protect and provide enabling environment to all citizens to engage in their respective and legitimate businesses without fear of molestation,” a statement issued on Thursday reads in part.
