An army officer, Colonel Hassan Bawa, has said that soldiers who assaulted some residents of Tungan-Maje community in Gwagwalada Area Council of the FCT have been arrested.

Col Bawa, who is said to represent the army garrison commander, spoke when he visited the palace of the chief of Tungan-Maje, Alhaji Salihu Isiaku Na’Annabi, last Thursday.

A source who was at the palace when the army colonel and the FCT commissioner for Public Complaints Commission (PCC), Mr Ezekiel Dalhatu Musa, visited the chief, said the army condemned the assault on the community.

“While speaking before our chief, the army colonel openly denied sending soldiers to arrest anybody in Tungan-Maje, and that the soldiers involved had been arrested,” the source said.
