The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya, will today inaugurate three new security exercises nationwide.

Army spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement Sunday, named the exercises as “Golden Dawn’’, “Enduring Peace’’ and “Still Water’’.
He said this was to effectively check all forms of criminality and allow for free movement of persons as the Yuletide and end-of-year activities approached.

He said the COAS would symbolically launch all the exercises today at Ovie-Emene, Enugu East Local Government Area of Enugu State, venue of “Exercise Golden Dawn’’.

He said the exercises were Field Training Exercises (FTEs) routinely conducted yearly by the army.

“The FTEs will equally provide a platform to sharpen the skills of participating troops on the conduct of Internal Security Operations.

“The exercises will run concurrently at 2, 6, 81 and 82 Divisions Areas of Responsibilities (AOR) in the Southwest, South-South and Southeast regions, respectively.

“They’ll also be conducted at Headquarters Command Army Records, 401 Special Forces Brigade and Guards Brigade Areas of Responsibilities in the North-Central states of Kogi, Benue and the FCT, respectively,’’ he said.

Northernblood4:


Am not jealous but that is where the real terrorists are. Who those terrorist army will kill is common man on street.

Lopsided activities like this gave rise to UGM.

SpecialAdviser:


He is asking for justice. Or more importantly informing the Army that this operation is needed most where Boko Haram are already in charge of some local governments.

Again, asking that the army should not target innocent civilians. All the previous operations in the South East, why has it not ended the Biafran ideology or even ended IPOB as organization? All these nasty attitude of fidgeting whenever there is a security threat in the East should stop.

I really wonder why you guys lose sleep over IPOB more than the insecurities bedeviling the entire country. Many souls are lost daily South West in the name of ritualism. Don't you think an operation should be declared on this? The whole country is in mess not just South East.

helinues:


Southern region really need the deployment of our gallant officers to Southern region most especially the 2 region that are yet to be engulfed in chaos and confusion.

They should help us to stop all the refugees that might be heading to the peaceful region before it's too late

SpecialAdviser:


We have had many killings in the South by the fulanis without the army helping to secure us Or kill these Fulanis.
The way Buhari and his goons handle security issues is just so annoying.

helinues:


You should have been more concerned about the unr at in your region before pokenosing into other region.

Or are you saying you are happy with the insecurities in your region?
