Nigerian Army Denies Shooting Women Protesters in Lamurde, Adamawa State
The Nigerian Army's 23 Brigade in Yola has refuted reports circulating on online media alleging that its escort brigade command shot women protesters in Lamurde, Adamawa State. Capt. Olusegun Abidoy, the brigade spokesman, dismissed the claims as misleading and contrary to the truth.
The Army clarified that neither the brigade command nor its escort were involved in the reported incident. The clash in Lamurde was attributed to unresolved land disputes and ethnic tensions between the Bachama and Chobo tribes.
Troops were deployed to restore peace and normalcy in the affected area.
