NIGERIAN ARMY EXPOSED!!! AS THEIR PLANS TO REDUCE IGBO POPULATION IN THE SOUTH-EAST THROUGH FREE MEDICAL…SEE
Christian Rowland writing for ODOGWU MEDIA...A free medical outreach that the
Nigerian Army extended to some communities in the South - East, as part of the
ongoing Operation Python Dance 2, was described on Wednesday as a tool to
depopulate the south -East region.
Pupils in public and private schools
in the South - East states on Wednesday abandoned academic activities as
information spread that a vaccination exercise had been added to the outreach
and was meant to send schoolchildren to early graves.
In Asaba, Delta State, pupils on
Wednesday abandoned classrooms following a rumour that soldiers would come to
schools to inject them to death.
The unverified information filtered
into Asaba at about 9 am, and quickly spread like a wildfire.
Some school heads, who could not
control the situation, alerted the government, but many pupils were already out
of their school premises.
It was gathered that the state
government summoned heads of security agencies for quick intervention.
The state Commissioner of
Information, Patrick Ukah, advised both parents and teachers not to panic,
saying there was no iota of truth in the rumour.”
He said , “This panic in schools is
needless because there is no vaccination currently going on in any school.”
In Anambra State, Governor Willie
Obiano, ordered the army to stop the outreach.
The governor reacted to the panic at
Ozubulu, in the Ekwusigo Local Government Area caused by unsubstantiated
information that soldiers wanted to forcefully inject monkeypox vaccine into
schoolchildren.
The Secretary to the State
Government, Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, said there was misconception and
misinformation about the issue.
He said the military was on a
medical outreach that had good intentions.
The statement read in part, “The
state has been made to understand that the exercise is part of the army’s
social responsibility to members of the public.
“The governor has, however,
contacted the army to stop the exercise until residents are sensitised.”
Parents and guardians in Imo State
also stormed schools to forcefully withdraw their wards following the news of
the vaccination.
It was said that pupils whose
parents did not come on time scaled fences and took to their heels.
At a school, St John’s Anglican
Nursery and Primary School, a parent, who did not disclose her identity, told
PUNCH Metro that she had information that soldiers were forcefully injecting
pupils.
The visibly tensed mother said, “I
am here to take my daughter home. I don’t want anybody to inject my child. I
will not take it.”
The state Commissioner of Police,
Chris Ezike, warned patents and guardians to stop creating “unnecessary panic.”
Ezike said, “The army is not
conducting any medical programme in Imo State.”
The spokesperson for the 34
Artillery Brigade, Imo State, Haruna Tarwai, did not pick calls put to his
mobile phone .
In Ebonyi State, the Commissioner
for Health, Dr Daniel Umezurike, debunked the information.
The Commissioner said, “We are not
aware of any vaccination and there is no vaccination of any kind by any person
or group.”
In Abia State, parents were seen
trooping to schools to take their children home.
A parent, who identified himself as
Mazi Okoro, said he received a call that soldiers came to the school to inject
the pupils with vaccines that could cause monkeypox.
The Assistant Director , Army Public
Relations, 14 Brigade, Ohafia, Major Oyegoke gbadamosi, said the army did not
organise any immunisation, adding that the information was mere propaganda
intended to tarnish the image of the army.
“The army does not organise any
medical outreach without informing members of the community selected for the
outreach,” he added.
In Enugu, the Nigerian Army said the
free medical outreach was not aimed at depopulating the region.
Deputy Director, Public Relations,
82 Division, Enugu, Col. Sagir Musa, in a statement on Wednesday, said the free
medical outreach, being conducted by the army as part of Operation Python Dance
2, “was not harmful to anyone”.
The statement read, “The free
medical outreach is not a vaccine intended to infect South - East people with
monkeypox or any major contemporary or emerging disease.
“The exercise is part of the
corporate social responsibility initiatives imbued into the overall Exercise
EGWU EKE 11 (Operation Python Dance 2) package to the people of the South -
East region which is the area of responsibility of the 82 Division, Nigerian
Army, and is also the theatre of the exercise.
“Instructively, the free medical
services in the region started on September 18, 2017, in Nkwaagu community of
Abakaliki Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
“The wicked, ill - motivated rumour
is the handiwork of unpatriotic elements who can go to any lengths to discredit
the noble services of the Nigerian Army in the region, and they will not
succeed.
“The public is hereby requested to
disregard the wicked rumour for the good of the people.”
