News; War tested soldiers to face ND Avengers -FG

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 newly formed Operation Delta Safe would have its Operational headquarters in Yenagoa and as well have three sectors and five operational bases to cover the whole of the region. The acting director, on defence information, big . Gen. Rabe Abubakar said that the effective equipment to ensure that the new task force will succeed would be made available.

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,”
