The Military Special Task Force, Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) providing security in Kaduna has asked citizens to disregard allegations of bias made against the outfit by a Southern Kaduna group, the Zangon Kataf Youth Christian Association of Nigeria,
In a statement on Friday, Oya James, a captain and media information officer of the OPSH, said their attention has been drawn to a misleading video report that has gone viral on social media captioned ‘Southern Kaduna community protests killings, accuses military of compromise’.
James said that the allegation was made through one Rev Victor Yahaya, leader of the Youth Christian Association of Nigeria Zango Kataf Local Government Area.
He stated that the story in its entirety was created to distract the military from carrying out its duties of protecting lives and property and expresses shocked that a cleric who should epitomise leadership and good example in all sense could maliciously accuse the military of compromise.
He said that it is most unfortunate, given that it is glaring that the military has subdued the rate of attacks in the Southern Kaduna area of Kaduna State.
He called on the public to continue to support the OPSH with necessary information needed to effectively deal with the security concerns in the area.
