It is no longer news that the
Nigerian Army has commenced an internal military operation in the largely
peaceful South Eastern states of Abia, Enugu ,
Anambra, and Ebonyi. They have not been withdrawn.
It is also no longer news that the
key civilian population that inhabit this geopolitical entity of the South East
of Nigeria stridently opposed the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to so
deploy such heavy weapons and operatives in the streets of the South East
states.
This deployment has clearly
constituted a cog in the wheel of economic progress of millions of people in
the South East of Nigeria who due to panic and social upheavals created by the
activities of the Army had to shut down their business premises to be safe.
