The Logara community in Imo State has urged the General Officer Commanding, 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, to investigate the death of soldier Vitalis Eke. Despite the army claiming it was suicide, the community suspects foul play. In a petition to the GOC, the community alleges that the soldier, close to retirement, was murdered.
The petition expresses concern over the lack of official information from the Army and questions the credibility of the suicide report. The community believes that the soldier was assassinated to cover up other issues. They also raise concerns about the treatment of the soldier’s family by the Army.
Despite attempts to contact Army authorities, there has been no response. The community demands transparency and justice for the late soldier and his family. This case highlights the need for thorough investigations and accountability within the military.
