Delta State Government has commended the Nigerian Army high command for arresting two soldiers shown in an online video threatening the people of Warri.
The state Commissioner for Information,

Mr Charles Aniagwu, who gave the commendation in a statement in Asaba, said the military was a special force known for its discipline and wondered where the errant soldiers got their training and orientation from.


Aniagwu said no soldier was killed in Warri and that government was concerned about where the soldiers got their information that warranted their using uncouth and uncivilised language in threatening the people of Warri in a video that had gone viral.


The Commissioner called on the people to remain peaceful and continue to obey government directives which, according to him, were designed to protect the people from the dreaded Coronavirus.


He noted that the arrest of the soldiers in the viral video would no restore the confidence of Nigerians in the military, adding that it was worrisome that soldiers who were supposed to be highly disciplined would indulge in such acts of brutality and threats to women.


Aniagwu called on the military high command to carry out full investigation into the matter with a view to bringing the culprits to justice.


He pledged government’s continued  partnership with security agencies to ensure the peace and economic development of the state.
