Personnel of the Nigerian Army attached to the Abia State special security operation codenamed “Operation Crush” have claimed that their allowance has not been paid for two months. Operation Crush, a joint task force of police, army, navy and other relevant security agencies was launched by Governor Alex Otti in August. While inaugurating the project in Umuahia with 20 Hilux vans, the governor had said the operation would pay special attention to areas currently brimming with killings, kidnappings, banditry, arson and all forms of social vices.
