Nigerian Army Tuesday distanced itself from the internal conflict between the Executive and Judiciary arms of government in Kogi State, warning that the army should not be dragged into such unprofessional matter.
The Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello-led executive arm of government has been at loggerheads with
the leadership of the state judiciary led by the Chief Judge, Justice Nasiru Ajanah.
Nigerian Army, in a statement by its Acting Director Army Public Relations, Col. Sagir Musa, said: "Nigerian Army has received a report of the purported or planned use of soldiers to remove and eject the Kogi State Chief Judge from his official residence."
According to the Army, "The Nigerian Army under the leadership of Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai will not contemplate interfering under any guise in the internal Executive - Judiciary conflict in Kogi State or any other state for that matter.
"The Army Headquarters has already directed and warned the Commander in the state to stay clear of this conflict (not to interfere under any guise).
"As a professional and law abiding organisation, the Nigerian Army hereby strongly distances itself from Kogi State conflict between the State Executive and the Judiciary."
