The Bayelsa State Governor,
Seriake Dickson has tasked the Nigerian Army on professionalism.
The governor yesterday urged the
army to be circumspect in its conduct of Operation Crocodile Smile II exercise,
in the state.
Dickson said it was by so doing
that the operation would enjoy the support of the government and people of the
state.
He, however, said he was in
support of the operation and called on the people of the state to cooperate
with the military in that regard.
The exercise, according to a
press statement signed by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Francis Ottah
Agbo, will commence on Wednesday, October 11 and will end on Saturday, October
28, across the South-West and South-South states.
The governor said the operation
will protect law-abiding citizens, rid Bayelsa of sea pirates and criminal
elements as well as safeguard the waterways.
While expressing the hope that the
military will be in the state to provide additional security and protect
innocent citizens, Governor Dickson called on Bayelsa people not to panic.
He said, “Bayelsa people do not
have to panic, but cooperate with the military on Operation Crocodile Smile
II.“
He added, “I have been de-briefed
and they have my support to safeguard the waterways, flush out criminality and
sea pirates from Bayelsa State. But in doing so, the military must act
professionally.”
