The Joint Task Force South East Operation UDO KA has refuted allegations of planned attacks on innocent civilians, describing the claims as “entirely false and unfounded.” The task force expressed concern over the spread of misinformation aimed at instilling fear and disrupting peace and security in the South East region.
Background
The allegations, attributed to Mazi Chinasa Nworu, suggested that Army Commanders in the South East had held a meeting to coordinate attacks on civilians. However, the task force clarified that no such plans exist and that their primary responsibility is to protect law-abiding citizens and maintain peace in the region.
Commitment to Security and Professionalism
According to a statement issued and signed by Lt. Col. Jonah Eromosele Unuakhalu, the Joint Task Force South East Operation UDO KA reaffirmed its commitment to accountability and transparency, highlighting its periodic meetings to assess operational effectiveness and refine strategies. The task force assured the public that it remains dedicated to its constitutional responsibility of protecting citizens and maintaining peace.
Call to Action
The public is urged to disregard the malicious claims and continue with their lawful endeavors without fear or hesitation. This development comes as the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) exams are scheduled to hold on May 30, 2025, and the task force’s statement aims to reassure students and citizens of their safety.
