The Nigerian Army has explained why the men of the Army Headquarters Garrison, Mogadishu Cantonment, Abuja, took over the premises of a company belonging to Mr. Robert Azibaola, a cousin of former President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday.
The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, told Punch correspondent in a text message that the land in question belonged to the Army.
Usman said the Army decided to take over the property because the service did not want any further encroachment on the property.
He stressed that the Nigerian Army would not tolerate any encroachment on its land.
“The said property is on Nigerian Army’s land and the Army will not allow anybody to encroach on its land.
“Consequently, the property has to be sealed to prevent further encroachment,” he stated.
Soldiers had taken over the premises of Kakarta Civil Engineering Limited, owned by the former President’s cousin, located along the Kubwa/Asokoro Expressway on Saturday.
The company shares boundary with the Luigi Barracks of the Nigerian Army.
