The Nigerian army has stated that there is no evidence that people were killed in the Southeast during the Operation Python Dance II.
Speaking with newsmen, it said reports that its personnel murdered members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, were just hearsays.
According to him, “People were said to have been killed but these are hearsays, these are claims, these are assertions, these are rumours, with no evidence.
“Can you show me the dead bodies? And can you tell me who is responsible? Certainly you cannot do that. So I think the best option is to go to another question that we can verify.
“Let ’s be specific and direct, when we showed our presence in Abia State, the same way we have shown our presence in other states in the southeastern part of Nigeria, namely in Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi and Imo states, we were not quelling any riot because there was no riot at that time to quell.
