Army To Conduct Operation Crocodile Smile, Python Dance Again
Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, says Nigerian Army will conduct more exercises in 2018 to assist civil authorities to deal with internal security challenges in parts of the country.
Speaking with newsmen on Friday after leading troops on a 15km Route March, Buratai said Exercises Harbin Kunama III, Crocodile Smile III and Egwu Eke Dance III would also be conducted in 2018.
Exercise Harbin Kunama I and II were conducted in 2016 and 2017, respectively, to deal with the menace of cattle rustling and herdsmen/farmers clashes in parts of North-West and North-Central.
While Crocodile Smile and Egwu Eke Dance were conducted in the Niger Delta and the South-East, respectively, in 2017 to tackle pipeline vandalism, oil theft and piracy, violent agitation and kidnapping.
Asked if there would be a special exercise to address recurring herdsmen/farmers clashes in Benue, Taraba and part of Nasawara State, Buratai said the military was not thinking of a particular situation.
“Well, we are not thinking of any particular situation, we are going to train on general areas which could include that aspect (Benue killings) as well.
“But our focus will be to ensure that security is provided across the country.
“So, definitely, expect Harbin Kunama III; Crocodile Smile III and Egwu Eke Dance III and probably another exercise coming which will be made known at the appropriately time.”
,Buratai charged the troops to be prepared as some of them may be deployed to any part of the country at short notice for operations to assist civil authorities to tackle internal security challenges.
He said he had approved funds for training in 2018 and therefore, they should expect a “robust training” during the period.
“This is to enable us to accomplish the task assigned to us by the Commander-In-Chief,” he added.

My brother I hate to hear this words God is watching, why his people are been killed everyday,should I say God have turned his back on us ?what is the sin of the people? Only to ask to be left alone,is killing no longer a sin?I thought the bible said thou shall not kill ,or the bible is not true?or I thing that no father will watch and see his children been killed for nothing??God were are you that this soldier’s are destroying the souls you made to worship you?it is unfair.How long can we face this?killing is now a normal thing in the eyes of this hausafulani ,God are you still the God of the children of isreal ?that God that destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, the no nonsense God,
