Military To Deploy Gunboats To Niger Delta Creeks – Chief Of Defense by explorer250(m): 8:43am On Mar 25, 2015
Military to deploy
gunboats to Niger
Delta creeks – Chief of
DefenseThe Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief
Marshal Alex Badeh has disclosed
that military gunboats would be
deployed to the creeks of the Niger
Delta region during the 2015 general
elections.

The deployment of the gunboats
according to him is to ensure that
peace prevail during the elections. Badeh who stated this at the
commissioning ceremony of 30
Gunboats procured by the Ministry of
Defence for the Joint Task Force
(Operation Pulo Shield) at the
Government Jetty, Yenagoa, Bayelsa state capital noted that aside being
used to wage war against crude oil
theft, it would be useful during the
2015 elections. While giving the assurance that the
boats and other resources allocated
by the Federal Government would be
judiciously deployed for the overall
economic benefit of the country, he
warned trouble makers to steer clear of the creeks during the 2015
elections.

“Aside from curtailing oil theft, these
boats would come in very handy
during the forthcoming general
election. Troops of the OPPS would
use these boats to dominate the
creeks as a warning to would be trouble makers. We all want peace to
prevail, so trouble makers, be
warned”.

Badeh commended the Federal
Government under President
Goodluck Jonathan “for its undying
commitment to providing the much
needed support to themed Forces of
Nigeria in the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities.” He pointed out that the Nigerian Navy
has continued to intensify its war
against oil theft which according to
him has curtailed the high level of
crude oil losses.

Badeh seized the opportunity to warn
“all those criminals who take pleasure
in stealing the nation’s crude oil and
vandalizing pipelines in the Niger
Delta to desist from such unpatriotic
acts.” Governor Emmanuel Udughan of
Delta who as the Chairman of the
Technical Committee on Crude Oil
Theft Prevention and Control of the
National Economic Council was the
Special Guest of Honour commended President Jonathan for his
determination to equip the military to
perform its constitutional role.

Udughan who noted that the effect of
crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism
is devastating in the Niger Delta
region said the support President
Jonathan has given the military has
enable them to curb the problems. He enjoined Nigerians to come out en
masse and vote for President
Jonathan on March 28 so that all the
gains recorded in the last four years
would not be reversed.

Nice move!! No one is above the law!! If GEJ loses and Asari tries nonsense, gun him down!!

In the same vein, if GMB loses, and his zombies decided to soak dogs and baboons in blood, protect the animals and then gun them down too!! Vote wisely not violently!!
