The Nigerian Army, Friday, said it would commence its second phase of Exercise PYTHON DANCE, tagged Python Dance II, otherwise known as EGWU EKE II, in the South Eastern part of Nigeria, comprising states such as Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo, from Friday 15 September to Saturday 14 October 2017.

It said the Exercise Python Dance II “is conceptualised to transit into real time operations…against violent criminals and agitators when called upon.”

A statement signed on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, by the Army Chief of Training and Operations, said the conduct of the exercise Python Dance II in the South East states has become even more expedient due to the “mindless assassinations (even in religious places), attack on security personnel, theft of weapons, armed banditry, kidnapping, cultism and violent agitations, as well as other security challenges that have recently become prevalent in the South Eastern part of the country.”

It said, during the exercise, emphasis will be placed on raids, cordon and search operations, anti-kidnapping drills, road blocks, check points and show of force, as well as humanitarian activities such as medical outreach.

It also said that the “Operation EGWU EKE II is set to be another epoch making exercise that would make the nation proud of the Nigerian Army’s determination at sustaining its constitutional role of defending the territorial integrity of the nation as well as its commitment to aid the civil authority to bring about peace and security in the south eastern part of our dear country.”

It said, “In this regard, members of the public especially the residents of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States are enjoined not to panic as their safety and well-being is guaranteed at all times. The general public is requested to remain vigilant and be security conscious, as suspected criminals may be fleeing from military operations in these areas and finding safe haven amidst our communities.

“The public is also reminded to report any suspicious activity or movement to the nearest military formation or other security agencies for prompt action. In order to ensure cordial civil-military relations, we shall make contact phone numbers of all Brigade Commanders public in addition to the Nigerian Army short code Information and Call Centre 193.”

The showdown is about to begin. Citizens in the South Eastern Nigeria should take utmost precaution considering the overzealous nature of the Nigeria military.
* By precaution, I mean avoid confrontation with the military. That is if this is true.

LOL, COMEDIANS EVERYWHERE, NIGERIA A WELL KNOWN IN COMEDY SERIES, MAY BE, NEXT WILL BE "OPERATIONS PARROT TALK"

Eke ga-agba egwu, ka anyi Lee.
Buhari is opting for a military pressure in dousing the tension caused by IPOB/Massob separatist agitation even against available peaceful option to resolving the impending crisis. I urge all people of SE and the residents there,who love their life, to take all necessary precautions to avoid being in any place where IPOB and Massob are holding rally

Interesting development aimed at securing the lives and properties of law abiding and patriotic Nigerians in the East from the antics of criminals and trouble makers masked as peaceful agitators.

[s]No be only python dance, involve cobra and anaconda dance join.
Very senseless and stupid govt shooting themselves on the leg since time immemorial.

Who doesn't know that all these Python and cockroach dance are because of Ipob activities in Ibo land ?

I foresee mass boycott of Nov election which Nnamdi KANU is really praying for. Nigeria government should send more troops to Ibo land because that's what Igbos are praying for. Only intelligent people will understand where I am heading to.
Nnamdi Kanu indeed is a great strategist that's why Nig govt has been falling into his trap since 2015.
Nigeria is fighting a lost battle.[/s]

Go tell the military all these trash in the barracks. Meanwhile vacancy for the post of IPODs target practice for Nigeria army is currently available. Kindly go to 23 Nweka road Aba
