The Nigerian Navy has denied reports
that naval personnel were among security operatives that invaded the All
Progressives Congress (APC) data centre at Ikeja, Lagos.
Media reports say it was reported that
a team comprising State Security Service operatives and other security agencies
on Saturday ransacked the data centre destroying some materials and arresting staff
of the consulting company.
A statement issued on behalf of the
Flag Officer Commanding (FOC) Western Naval Command (WNC), Rear Admiral Sanmi
Alade by the command’s Information Officer, Abdusallam Sanni reiterated Navy’s neutrality
in political issues.
It said: “Nigerian Navy is a non-partisan
organization and do not meddle in politics. The Navy has not deployed any of
its personnel to any political party’s office.
“However, we have commenced
investigation and the video footage alleged is being carefully studied to
ascertain those behind the said incident.
“I want to assure you that the Nigerian Navy has
zero tolerance to indiscipline and unruly behaviours to the general public. If
confirmed that Nigerian Navy personnel are involved in this undesirable
behaviours they will be sanctioned and appropriate punishment will be awarded.”
