Key Into Operation Crocodile Smile Medical Outreach, Muslim Group Appeals To Yorubas

By; JACOB ONJEWU DICKSON
A passionate appeal has been made to Yoruba’s and other residents of the South West, as well as other Nigerians to key into the humanitarian gestures of the Nigerian Army through its medical outreach.

This call was made by the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) in a statement signed by its  President, Professor Ishaq Akintola, made available on Friday, which argued that military exercises across the country, is checking the hitherto high crime rates.
“We are however deeply perturbed by the irrational outcry of a few disgruntled elements who have condemned the exercises. The most noteworthy is the latest call on Yorubas to boycott the medical outreach in Operation Crocodile Smile. We reject this demand.
“Apart from the brilliant idea of providing medical care for the local population, Operation Crocodile Smile is capable of reducing the rate of crime in the South West. It should be noted that the South East, which is notorious for its high crime rate reportedly became calm few weeks after the commencement of Operation Python Dance by the Nigerian Army.
“It is not only infantile but also irresponsible. This request is sadistic and anti-people in view of the situation of medical facilities in the country as well as the poverty level among the populace. Anyone who asks the poor masses to boycott a medical outreach where they can have access to free medicare is out of touch with reality. It is only criminals and anarchists who will object to a military exercise designed to keep kidnappers and armed robbers at bay,” it stated.
 
MURIC stressed that these military exercises are necessary once in a while, in view of the proliferation of criminal activities in the country.
“Armed robbery, kidnapping, rape, etc remain on high profile. But the general state of insecurity became pronounced with the threat of secession made by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). The seizure of several weapons actually raised the alert level to red.
“This year alone, 661 pump action guns were confiscated by the Nigerian customs on January 30, 2017. 440 guns illegally imported from Turkey were discovered by customs on May 24. Another 1,100 were recovered on September 11 while 470 pump action guns were seized on September 21. More powerful weapons like machine guns and RPGs were also seized at the border.  
 
 “It is normal for these seizures to give the authorities and the discerning public cause for serious concern and the volatile situation altogether constituted the raison d’etre for military exercises like Operations Python Dance and Crocodile Smile,” it pointed out.
MURIC commended the Nigerian Army for this proactive measure, while stating that arrogant force will not bow until counter-force surfaces.
“We also laud the Federal government (FG) for deeming it fit to approve the military exercises. It is well-known that a weak government cannot protect innocent citizens. Equally credit-worthy is the Nigerian chief of customs, Ahmed Ali. The brilliant performance of the customs department during his tenure can be traced to his high level of discipline. The importers of those dangerous weapons could have had their way but for his tough stance.
 
 MURIC stressed that it is excited by this initiative, describing it as profound, patriotic and chivalrous.
It therefore. charged Nigerians in general and the Yoruba in particular, to give full cooperation to soldiers engaged in the exercise.
“It is for our safety. The citizenry must be security conscious. Kidnapping is alien to Nigerian culture and everything necessary must be done to bring this menace to a halt. We urge the Nigerian Army to sustain the exercise until criminals find something more productive to do. We suggest a quarterly repeat until irredentists and criminals are forced out of business,” it concluded.
It would be recalled that the Nigerian Army commenced a military exercise tagged ‘Operation Crocodile Smile’ in the South West few days ago. A major feature of the exercise is its medical outreach which provides locals the opportunity to access medical care pro bono.

Afonja cleric, most poor people don't go to school, there are sick, homeless destitute scattered everywhere the military should go and give those ones free medical care. We don't want our children vaccinated with what we don't know.

The wahabi MURIC who didn't as little as make a press statement when Shia Muslims were murdered in their hundreds have shown their hands again.

slave will always behave like one,let SW enjoy the free medical care. if they come to southern Kaduna we will also reject them.

Lol!!...'Yoruba Muslims' in za building!..hahaha!

The same MURIC that called for Sharia in the South west less than a week ago?

When we have a king in the North already

These are people who have the poor masses interest at heart........take advantage of the free medi care and enjoy a better health



In South East prayer house have been turned into healing homes just because of poverty that won't allow them access quality. Health care yet, they tell the less privileged to boy cut the free medical care offered by Soldiers


The question now is........are there no Igbos in the Military?

What do we expect from ewedu head slammers? They never disappoint. Now this evil immunization by zoo army is becoming very suspicious. No wonder monkey pox is in the news.
