Lt. Col. Olabisi Olalekan Ayeni should step aside . Kayode Adebayo what do you say?
Abraham Madu
This is Lieutenant Colonel Olabisi Olalekan Ayeni, the acting deputy director of Public Relations for the Nigerian Army.
He was the one behind the spurious report that Nigerian Army discovered IEDs in Imo while in essence the blurred coordinates he posted, actually showed Oyo and Lagos.
Nigerian Army, this is outrageous and horrendous and we the good people of Imo State, South East and Alaigbo in general are not taking this lightly.
This situation has caused serious concern among our people. Many people believe that such a misleading report unfairly damages the reputation of the region and further deepens the already existing mistrust between the people and the military.
In any serious and accountable system, an officer who releases misleading information of this magnitude would be expected to take responsibility. Many Nigerians believe that Lt. Col. Ayeni should step aside or face disciplinary action for publishing information that appears to misrepresent facts and tarnish the image of an entire state.
This is not simply a case of poor communication or careless reporting. When security information is wrongly presented, it can have very dangerous consequences. It can cause unnecessary fear among the public, create the impression that certain areas are unsafe when they are not, and at the same time divert attention from real security challenges that may exist elsewhere.
What happened to investing same energy in the North and southwest where terrorism is always the talk of the day? But every Eke market day, they choose to maliciously and hypocritically focus on southeast pinning "insecurity" on the relatively peaceful region.
Because of situations like this, many young Igbo men and women are gradually losing confidence in the Nigerian Army as an institution that represents every Nigerian equally. There is a growing perception that prejudice, discrimination, and propaganda may be used against them. This perception has contributed to the declining willingness of many young people from the region to enlist in the military.
Trust between the military and the public is something that must be carefully built and protected. Once that trust is damaged, it becomes very difficult to repair. Institutions that are meant to protect citizens must always operate with transparency, fairness, and honesty.
The people of Imo State and the South East deserve accurate information and responsible communication from security agencies. They deserve facts, not narratives that appear to misrepresent reality.
For this reason, Igbo youths are now calling on the Nigerian Army to thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the report. If any wrongdoing or deliberate misinformation is found, appropriate disciplinary action should be taken against Lt. Col. Olabisi Olalekan Ayeni.
Accountability is necessary not only to correct the record but also to restore public confidence in the institution. Nigerians deserve a military that communicates truthfully and serves every region of the country with fairness and integrity.
Enough of misinformation and propaganda against the people of the South East and Ndigbo in general. Honesty and justice must prevail.
