Alhassan Ado Doguwa, the embattled house of representatives majority leader, caught in an emergency viral video bearing a gun, has been cleared by the Nigerian Defence Headquarters.
According to Guardian, the defence headquarters said the video was shot during that 3 Brigade Nigerian Army Training Exercise, adding that the lawmaker was invited as a special guest and fired the AK-47 rifle in the Falgore Forest.
The statement reads in part:
“It is worthy to state that when senior citizens and special guests are invited for such exercises, they are accorded the honour to participate in the firing exercise as a ceremonial firing party. Ceremonial firing in such an exercise is the practice the world over.”
