Yuletide: Military will dominate major roads, hotspots in southeast, others, says Army
The Nigerian Army says military and other security forces would dominate all major roads and criminal hot spots in the southeast and across the country to ensure hitch-free yuletide.
It also assured Nigerians to travel to their various homes during Yelutide without fear, as the military and other security forces are up and doing to provide adequate security during the Yuletide period and beyond.
The Director of Army Public Relations, Brig. -Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, disclosed this on Wednesday, November 29, during a briefing on the successes of Exercises Still Waters III, Enduring Peace III, and Golden Down III, in Abuja.
Nwachukwu said: “The security forces will dominate the South East. Those in the Diaspora are free to come back home to celebrate with their loved ones.
“Aside from this people should be vigilant and report any suspicious persons to the security agencies.”
He said the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Taoheed Lagbaja has directed the immediate deployment of the 401 task force brigade on the major roads in Benue State to curtail the activities of bandits and other criminals in the state.
