IJAW Youth Council, IYC, Saturday, warned that Ijaw youth will resist any attempt to re-launch the Operation Crocodile Smile, which it described as a destructive military drill in Ijaw land. Nigerian army training for operation crocodile smile in Delta The council in a statement by the president, Pereotubo Oweilaemi, Esq., said: “The attention of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), worldwide has been drawn to a plan by the Nigerian military to re-launch its destructive military drill, code named ‘Operation Crocodile Smile III’ in the Niger Delta region.” “If the rumour is true as the Chief of the Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Brutai was alleged to have dropped the hint in a press briefing, then, we will see it as a declaration of war against Niger Delta people.

“We make bold to say that the Ijaw nation was at the receiving end of military unprovoked invasions through the previous military drills. The armed forces did not achieve anything in the previous exercises other than to kill innocent people and destroy the peaceful Ijaw communities,” it said.

The group declared: “We will defend our communities from further invasions by the Nigerian armed forces even if it means to stage a peaceful protest across the length and breadth of Ijaw land in Nigeria.” “We are not at war with the Nigerian government to be subjected to such trauma. Is Tukur Buratai telling the Niger Delta people that the region is in anyway under siege or being conquered by the Nigerian government in conventional combat?

“We cannot forget in hurry the barbaric and a commando styled invasions of Ajapa, Safarogbo, Ajakurama, Inikorogha, Letugbene, Oporoza, Kurutie and other Communities in Bayelsa, Edo, Delta and Ondo states by the belligerent Nigerian armed forces in the name of Operations Crocodile Smile I and II,” the council added. According to it, “Hundreds of Ijaw youths unlawfully arrested during the operations are still being unconstitutionally held incommunicado and have been incarcerated in various detention centres across the country without even being charged to court.” “The military in the name of these exercises has inflicted a devastating mayhem on our hearts and left with us an eternal terror of war.

Was it not these same exercises that metamorphosed into a looting spree where the military invaded and looted the Ijaw communities to penury? “The world should know that it was these same exercises that led to the uncivilized and most daring invasion of the revered Gbaramatu Kingdom traditional institution; the palace and the holy Egbesu shrine, which culminated in the looting of the sacred Egbesu sword and other valuable items worth billions of naira. “Or has the military identified another target in the region that it is planning to invade and loot? IYC said. Its words: “We fear that this country is drifting towards the precipice.

There is no crisis in the Niger Delta region or the South East that required another Operations Python Dance III and Crocodile Smile III. These are subtle declaration of war against these regions and they are provocative. President Buhari should not push this country to a needless civil war.” “Thousands of Nigerians are being slaughtered like fowl by the terror herdsmen on a daily basis in the Middle Belt, yet the military has not taken any dance step to the area. Why the South East and the Niger Delta regions are suited for military exercise? “Is the Boko Haram conquered Sambisa Forest and the Fulani herdsmen terrorized Middle Belt region not good for the military exercise?

“No amount of Crocodile Smile or Python Dance will cow the southern Nigerians from agitating for restructuring and true federalism. “For us in the Niger Delta, our lives depend on resource control, true federalism, political autonomy and self-determination. We can never be intimidated by Buratai even if he commits genocide with his provocative military exercise,” the group added.

I bet if the army and the government had put all the operations python, Crocodile, Kunama, etc together in Sambisa, Boko people would have been routed out years ago. But no. They like garnishing their teeth on unarmed people in the south...while the Boko group regroup and continue killing people...

What a country...

From your moniker I can see you are a Yoruba man.... Why are you eager to defend the failures of the Daura President... His injustices on your fellow southerners are glaring... His nepotism is legendary... Why are you working against your self?

I don’t believe he’s Yoruba. He must be from the North. It is time we learn to discern certain monikers for what they are: northern impersonators who want to divide the south.

What about the herdsmen and Boko Haram?

“The world should know that it was these same exercises that led to the uncivilized and most daring invasion of the revered Gbaramatu Kingdom traditional institution; the palace and the holy Egbesu shrine, which culminated in the looting of the sacred Egbesu sword and other valuable items worth billions of naira. “


Occupational force wants to embark on another expedition to loot. What a shame.

You are right I am of Yoruba stock from Nigeria. Is this about Buhari or criminality?

You are implying that criminals should go on and have a field day in the south south because other criminals are on rampage in another part of the country.

Be objective, until you start viewing criminals as criminals without sensationalism as herdsmen, militia, militants and co , then you are pervading injustice and criminality.

Stop lying, you are not Yoruba. And if you are, you certainly haven’t imbibed the omoluabi principle. This is a fact!

hmmmmmm

Didn't I said that the 2nd Niger bridge bubu was building was just to throw us inside it and murder my people. This time around, the attack he is planning for my people, will start from his and buratai's family

Kai dan Inyamiri stop your support for criminality, and let the python and crocodile do their job

Nonsense army that only flex muscle when they see unarmed civilians.
Buratai and his unfortunate dancers cowered and ran away when gendarmes from Cameroon decimated villages in Cross River state.

Bunch of spineless retards masquerading as soldiers
