The Nigerian Army has denied any involvement in the Kano State emirate tussle.
The Director, Army Public Relations, Maj. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement on Sunday said the Army had no involvement in the tussle and its personnel were not involved in enforcing any court order.
He said contrary to insinuations by the Kano State chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association “troops of the Nigerian Army have not been involved in the Kano State emirate tussle and are not involved in enforcing any court order. ”
He noted that the service steps taken were to prevent the breakdown of law and order.
Onyema said, “They have only taken proactive steps to checkmate any possible breakdown or breach of the security that may be occasioned by the Kano Emirship tussle.
He noted that the military would wade into the matter when the police could no longer handle the security situation in the state.
