The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has denied an allegation that military personnel are supporting gunmen killing people in the Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State. The CAN leader said the military personnel sent people away for the gunmen to destroy their properties. “The video made baseless and untrue accusations, claiming that the military is biased and supports a particular group against others. The video has been circulating in the media, aiming to malign military personnel deployed to address the security challenges in the Mangu general area. We strongly caution individuals involved in making malicious comments against the military to cease such acts.
