The General Officer Commanding 82 Division (GOC) Nigerian Army (NA) Major General Adamu Baba Abubakar in company of the Governor of Anambra State Mr. Willie Obiano on Friday commissioned five key projects at the 302 Artillery General Support Regiment in Onitsha Military Cantonment.
A statement signed by Col Sagir Musa, Deputy Director, Army Public Relations said “The projects commissioned by the GOC are the renovated and well-fortified armoury and the Military Police Duty Room.
“The commissioning of the military police duty room is significant in many ways – it serves as a reporting Centre for human rights violations by the cantonment’s community and members of the public, loss of goods and other valuables.
“Above all, it is a Centre for discipline, punishment and detention for members of the military in the cantonment who might fall foul of military/civil law.
