The federal gov’t is considering deploying some war tested
soldiers from the North-East to confront the issue of militancy in the oil-rich
region. This is according to Punch. The reports suggest that the soldiers from
the North-East will be an integral part of the newly formed Operation Delta
Safe.
The acting director on defence information further stressed
“The overhauling was
meant to ensure pro-activeness of the new outfit. We will, as much as possible,
continue to inject new system, new equipment and new prescriptions to ensure
that what happened before will not happen now.
“And so, the Defence Headquarters came up with the re-organisation,
and it meant well for the country and it meant well for the industries there.
So we are doing all these things to ensure that we do our best, with the best
arsenal, with the best equipment, so that we can handle the security threat.
“But injecting new
men or injecting more men is not the issue. The most important is that the re-organisation
has been done and it is for the goodness of country, for the good of that
general area.
“And we will do everything to secure all necessary spots,
human, equipment and what have you to ensure that it performs optimally,”
