The Nigerian Army said it had recovered 55 assorted weapons from suspected criminals in the Niger Delta.

The General Officer Commanding (GOC), 82 Division, Enugu, Maj.-Gen. Ibrahim Attahitu, told newsmen in Enugu on Saturday that the recoveries were made during a military exercise tagged “Operation Crocodile Smile”.

He also disclosed that 23 militants and criminals were killed by soldiers in their bid to flush out criminals in the area.

The GOC said many of the criminals fled with various degrees of injury.

He said 38 camps belonging to the militants and 91 illegal refineries, including bunkering sites and underground tunnels used by the suspects, were destroyed in the 10-day exercise.“The precursor operations were followed by `Exercise Crocodile Smile’ proper, which was orchestrated and conducted with sequencing and lines of operation to upgrade the skills, expertise and competence of the troops in land and riverside environments.



“Over 3,000 soldiers were deployed along two axis on land, creeks and the general littoral area of the Niger Delta region, while forward-operating bases were established from where operations were conducted along the creeks and littoral area,’’ he said.

Attahiru, however, regretted that four soldiers died during the exercise, explaining that three lost their lives in a boat mishap while one died during cross fire with the militants.

APC making a mockery of democracy. ..it aint about military might but negotiations and renegotiation

killing people you are meant to protect ...Nigeria is a failed project

^^^^^Military has constitutional right to intervene including killing anyone who take up arms and threatens the national integrity - the same goes in any country of this world; so stop being sentimental.

Just to secure the Oyel resources for the 97 fasent !!

Killed them all including their sponsors and sympathizers no group or tribe is greater than Nigeria. Avengers,IPOB be warned

long military rule in Nigeria has affected her citizens negatively, democracy requires that you look into the grievances of a wailing party..even the Nigerian police uses brutal force in handling of their citizens

isn't that crazy to have ""Nigeria police force ""in a real democracy police are trained as "police service " they aren't got the right to lay their hands on you except on extreme cases which must be proven

the case of niger delta must also end up at round table and not at battle ground

Where is the Pictures of the so claimed Niger delta Militants and their weapons or i dont believe this RUBBISH
i pity my Brothers there

Don't negotiate with terrorists.
AsK for negotiation, that has been concluded with the Elders of ND, so who else?

under a spell...

sometimes, i wonder at the lack of coordination in this government, buhari have been forced to beg this guys to the negotiation table while his soldiers are deploying more troops and making inflammatory statements, if the boys renew their bombings, who standards to loose?the soldiers have been in the Niger Delta for over a year without positive results while loosing men to boat mishaps, they can't win this war especially since the avengers target oil pipelines rather than soldiers or civilians like boko haram.

Where in niger delta or was it d whole Niger delta area de killed dem all

Did i hear protect the so called criminals and economic terrorist. Abeg the carrot and stick approach has been set into motion and let the better party win before negotiation begin!!!

And wen the next administration comes into power there will be negotiations nd renegotiation. The money negotiated during the past administration nd given to tompolo nd his fellow militants,what was done wit it? Construction of university outside the shores of the country not even for his political. When u raise up arms against a govt,nd constitute nuisance in ur community,d govt must restore order

Ok oooo
