Nigerian Army Press Release - Disregard False Rumours Of Forceful Vaccinations by presidency: 12:18am On Oct 18, 2017
DISCLAIMER NOTICE

1. The attention of Headquarters 6 Division Nigerian Army has been drawn to some rumours making the rounds that some Nigerian Army Personnel are going round schools in Rivers State dressed in Military Camouflage uniforms with the intention of forcefully vaccinating students with an unknown substance. The callous and unpatriotic rumours spread by these enemies of State are, to say the least, despicable, deplorable and highly condemnable by all well meaning Nigerians as they are intended to cause pandemonium among the general public.

2. The authorities of 6 Division Nigerian Army wishes to inform the general public that while the Nigerian Army plans to undertake such gestures like free medical outreaches, sanitation exercises in host communities and distribution of educational materials as part of our community relations activities during the ongoing Operation CROCODILE SMILE II, these activities are yet to be conducted and will eventually be conducted with the consent of relevant authorities of designated communities and at venues and dates that will be duly communicated to the general public through future press releases and relevant posters.

3. For the purpose of emphasis, the Nigerian Army does not and will never carry out its medical outreaches or vaccination exercises for that matter in Schools. We can therefore categorically inform the public that the ongoing rumours about Nigerian Army Personnel going round schools in military camouflage to forcefully immunize school children are not true and should therefore be discountenanced with.
Additionally, members of the public are please requested to call 09072509436-8 to report any case of any impostor(s) that may be seen actually trying to commit such atrocities.

4. You are kindly requested to disseminate this information to the general public through your medium. Thank you for your usual cooperation.

Yes, we don't need the trust of dubious seditious elements. The law is there to deal with them and their nefarious activities.

Law-abiding citizens have little to fear from the law. Fake news bearers beware, you may be exposed and duly prosecuted in due course

They are quick to post pictures of children running and parents picking up their children from school. But I'm yet to see a picture of a soldier carrying first aid kit and syringes. Who would want to kill ppl by injecting them with killer vaccines? Thats so 18th century. U can simply drop a bomb on them from the sky and say it was accidental cheesy This is just a silly rumour carried by really ignorant and paranoid ppl

Rumours can spread like fire in Nigeria easily, especially by mischief makers, they said soldiers were going to schools for vaccinations yet anyone you ask will only tell you he heard not he saw them.

Yes the army does such in their MRS but is very strange to hear them go house to house or school to school.

Every way is being sought to bring about the downfall of this government that even an harmless aid by the Nigerian Army has been misconstrued. This is so sad. Now the aid will have to be stopped and that spell bad news for those not vaccinated.

So the NA doing the job of the police is right to you? In sane climes, they don't even leave their barracks until there is an external/internal aggression. Nigerians still behave as if they are under military rule.
