The Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, told the general public to disregard the information.

This is following the reaction of the Deputy Corps Marshal, Shehu Zaki, to the security challenges facing the country.

Zaki, on Saturday, said their personnel must bear arms during the discharge of their duties for maximum protection.

However, the Corps Public Education Officer , Kazeem said, “The attention of the FRSC has just been drawn to a report that the Corps Marshal is seeking the permission of the Federal Government for the personnel of the Corps to bear arms.

“The erroneous statement credited to the representative of the Corps Marshal at the Passing Out Parade of Cadets at the Nigerian Army Training Centre, Kontagora, Niger State, does not reflect the current position of the Corps Marshal and the management team.
