Army authorities in Sokoto State have asked residents not to panic at the sounds of gunshots or troops movement, as the 8 Division Nigerian Army, Sokoto, will commence inter-Brigade Range Classification Competition.

They said the exercise was for Warrant officers and senior non-commission officers (SNCOs) at Tankwale village shooting range Sokoto, Tuesday, August 8.

The exercise will involve the movement of troops and firing of live ammunition at the range situated along Illela Road, Sokoto State.

According to a statement by Lieutenant Colonel Ikechukwu Eze, and made available to newsmen in Sokoto, the essence of the range classification exercise is to improve combat proficiency, firing skills and marksmanship of troops within the cadre of non-commission officers.

The statement urged residents and people of Tankwale village to stay away from the general area of the shooting range within the period of the exercise.

Also in the statement, the general public are enjoined not to panic at the sight of troops in and around Illela Road, Sokoto State.

It's just shooting practice and nothing more.

Ipob terrorists are disappointed once again.

Nigeria must be great in my own lifetime and it's enemies including ipob terrorists in East, Boko Haram in the north east and banditry and kidnappers in North West and central must collect wotowoto from general lagbaja's led Nigeria's troop.

This is their only mistake, South East should have been the perfect place for the shooting practice especially on Mondays to sound a note of warnings to ipob terrorists.

This is a regular practice in the army, they usually call it shooting range and it is being carried out across each Brigade in Nigeria so it is not a matter of choosing states. And before such exercises are being carried out, there will be public announcement across areas where the drill normally takes place for people to be aware and know how to move within the areas.
