Why There Was Members Of Guards Brigade Nigerian Army At National Assembly – Nigerian Army

The Brigade wishes to state that troops of Guards Brigade Nigerian Army are routinely deployed within Abuja and environs on receipt of any intelligence report of mischievous elements that may want to cause mayhem. Therefore as part of the routine responsibilities of the Brigade, troops were deployed at the Three Arm Zone of the Federal Capital Territory based on an intelligence report of an invasion by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (aka Shiite) to force their way into the Zone. Hence, Troops were deployed to forestall any breach of peace and security.

The Brigade wishes to state that media platforms should verify their stories before publication to avoid misleading the general public. The Nigerian Army is a professional organisation that conducts its operations with international best practices.
