Enugu—The Army said yesterday that soldiers have been patrolling flashpoints in Ebonyi State, following “credible security reports of likely politically motivated violence” in the build-up to next month’s general elections in the state.

The Deputy Director of Public Relations, 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, Col Sagir Musa, said in a statement that, “Based on credible intelligence reports of likely impending politically motivated violence in the build-up to elections and electioneering campaigns by contending parties, troops of Sector 4, in 24 Support Engineer Regiment AOR, Ebonyi State, have jointly been conducting robust patrols in major identified flashpoints across the state.


“Consequently, there is an increased presence of security agencies on patrols and snap checkpoints in some areas such as Afikpo, Ekpoamaka, Alike Achara and Nwankpa communities in Afikpo and Ikwo LGAs of the state. “Similarly, key areas like Ikwo junction, Enugu road, Presco Roundabout and Vanco Water Works, witnessed an increased presence of security personnel. “These efforts are aimed at providing a conducive environment for socio-economic and political activities by proactively checkmating anticipated crisis before, during and after the 2019 general elections in line with the directive of the Chief of Army Staff.” According to Musa, the deployment of soldiers on the Operation Python Dance 111 (Egwu Eke 111) to the troubled area was aimed at ensuring peace before, during and after the election period.

He further said that, “One major gain of Exercise Egwu-Eke III (Python Dance III), just like others before it, is in the maintenance of peace and security in the entire South East geo-political zone,” adding that “due to sustained mobile patrols, targeted raids, stop and search operations as well as aggresive intelligence drive across the zone, miscreants/hoodlums and criminals were denied freedom of action.”

Na your type I go send go Syria or Gaza if I become president. BLOOOODY SCAMMER

This exercise is aimed at warning Uncle Nnamdi's boys not to misbehave

In a democracy, there is nothing like "military patrol"

But nobody cares about the law in Nigeria anyway

Remove Ekweremmadu, Ugwuanyi and Umahi from your list. Usman Mbaka is the only person working for buhari after perceiving money

hahaha

Just because Umahi CLAIMED his wife received a threatening text message, then the whole electorate are being intimidated from exercising their rights. Knowing fully well that the sight of these animals would keep people indoors.

The strategy is to disenfranchise them as the state is not for his friend Buhari.

In Tinubu's voice
like for ATIKU
share for BUHARI

No single soul from the east will vote Buhari...

He can't get 2% even with the northerners in the region

Quote me anywhere

Mean while, as APC and PDP flex muscles, vote for this young guy to take Ebonyi to greater heights

Buhari is afraid of 5% again in Igbo land.
Whether you like or not all Ipobians are with Atiku.

Take your python dance to Sambisa

Nothing like election tension in my Ebonyi state.
Just do your python dance in peace and go.

All of them are same and working for mbaka.

Keep typing from your bini cave

They should go to the North were their presence is highly needed.

They won't go and face Bokoharam where their attention is needed.

Rigging plan activated

Must soldiers do patrol?
Unless it is war time, it is professionally wrong for soldiers to be used to prevent security breakdown.

Police should have been doing that, and only a call from the police, incase they are overwhelmed, should soldiers be involved.

But then, it is Buhari reign, anything goes

one day what they seek in Biafraland they shall see

Isoright
