orried by incidents of kidnapping, banditry and other violent crimes threatening national security, the Nigerian Army will today commence operations across the thirty-six states of the federation, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
According to the army, the exercises, which will be conducted simultaneously in the six geo-political zones of the country, include Exercise Ayem Akpatuma 11; Egwu Eke 1V; as well as Crocodile Smile 1V.
It said 1, 3 Divisions, Headquarters, Command Army Records, Guards Brigade, and 707 Special Forces Brigade, would conduct Exercise Ayem Akpatuma II (to cover the North Central and parts of North West states of Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi and Taraba as well as Kaduna and Niger states); Egwu Eke 1V (South-East states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo), falls under the 82 Division area of responsibility, while the
2, 6, 81 and 82 Divisions undertake Crocodile Smile IV in the South-South and parts of South-West viz; Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Lagos, Ogun and Rivers states.
Also during the period, the army said a fresh North-East exercise tagged; “Operation Positive Identification,” would be extended across other zones.
The service hoped to use the exercise to isolate and arrest criminal elements that may be fleeing locations, or trying to establish roots anywhere in the country.
Accordingly, soldiers have since been instructed to “strictly check valid means of identification such as National Identification Card, Voters Registration Card, Drivers’ Licence and International Passports, or other valid official identification, before allowing such persons passage.”
While announcing the nationwide operation, Acting Director of Army Public Relations (DAPR), Col. Sagir Musa, said inter alia that; “In her spirited efforts to combat insecurity across the nation, the Nigerian Army (NA) is set to commence simultaneous routine training exercises in the various geo-political zones of Nigeria.”
The army, nonetheless, urged law-abiding citizens not to panic, as it had maintained that the operation was aimed at protecting lives and property, and by extension, sustaining the sovereignty of the nation.

I wanted to say d sunni wahabi zoo army should concentrate on boko haram,Fulani herdsmen and bandits and leave internal security for police and civil defense but I remember we're in a military regime with General Mumummadu Buhari as head of state.

Who will now be in the barracks and what will the police,civil defense,sss and all will be doing? Collect free salaries for doing nothing? It’s okay.

Finally, Python is about to go round...

Hello, WASTEside!

They are starting the operation because of the election that is coming up in kogi and bayelsa.

Deep down inside of me I know Nigeria �� is a failed country but some forces stronger than me keeps telling me I shouldn't give up...
Nigeria will be great again.

I hope one day we see a better Nigeria
Where sanity is the way forward..
See something say something.

Let the Harrasment commence

...
Get a valid idcard.
Barb ur hair if u be dada.
Dress responsibly.
Get rid of anything that you can't explain in 30sec.
Mind your business..

Ok

Meanwhile, I'm available for your medical certificate, online documents and Print-out Slips. Check my signature

No wahala

What is the work of the Police, Civil defense and Dss? Why can't the NA take these soldiers and add to the already tired ones fighting BH, you will be stunned to know the amount of Money mapped out for this

Ok

Hello, WASTEside!

See am, Igbo

Hmmmm

Just waking up from slumber

Well this is an opportunity for them to harass citizens

Issoryt

This isn't right... This is what our military has been reduced to... Internal security affairs should not be the work of the military... This will eventually lead to oppression and extortion of law abiding citizens..

It's well

hmm...
Python dance, crocodile smile etc but in the North it is operation positive identification,...
obviously

Wow

They should focus on killing all SARS member on the road. They're the new thieves and kidnappers.

Ok

We are not ready in this country. When we are ready, the world will know. NA that has less than 200,000 active personnel, of which we had to pull officers from ECOWAS some years back, wants to carry out NATIONWIDE security checks.

With proper technology, 4000 soldiers can defeat Bokoharam.

A general that was accused of steal millions got bail of 2m. A protester, Sowore, was given over 100m bail.

Every. government comes with its own useless vision, vision 2000, vision 2020, ERGP. We are joke among the community of nations.

they should build a barrack in Abuja kaduna road for a start

Akwa Ibom does not need military occupation

mumuu country

They are not needed inside the states, they are needed on our express roads where the wicked unleash their terror.
Before you know it now, army , a whole army will start chasing yahoo boys instead of leaving it for SARS to do. Checking if I'd cards is a valid point but are they saying criminals don't have I'd cards. How will they know a criminal with I'd cards. Let me go and get my nimc o since they refused to give me international passport all this while. Drivers license is a no go area. No money to eat na license I go dey run after

* Police duty is to officially collect on the roads, go after every good looking young men & commit accidental discharge to kill at will.
* Civil Defense is to collect from tanker driver's & collect from crude oil vandals.
* SSS is to go after political enemies & individuals who speak against bad leadership.

Few days ago some person started shearing videos of civil war, condemning any action that will cause a repeat. Now the army has be tactfully deployed. There is something fishing the government is not saying.

Where?
