A spokesperson for the One Mechanised Division Nigerian Army, Muhammmed Dole, a Colonel, has denied the allegation that soldiers tortured suspects.
Dole’s reaction was as a result of revelation of one Isa Garba, who alleged being forced to mention the name of a lawmaker representing Kaduna Central District, Shehu Sani as the one behind the murder of one Lawal Dona.
Garba said the Army kept him in their detention for two weeks torturing him in the process to do their bidding in mentioning the Senator’s name as being behind the crime.
Dole said it was never a tradition in the Military to torture people just to get information from them.
“Investigation was conducted on his (Isah Garba) case and we forwarded to Police Command for further investigation and we don’t torture people to forcefully get information from them. There is no iota of truth about that,” he said.
