As part of efforts to ensure the
security of lives and properties in this festive season, the military
authorities in Ogun State, Tuesday launched ‘Operation Crocodile Smile.’
Speaking to newsmen on the
formation of the anti-crime unit, the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 81
Division of the Nigerian Army, Major-General Olu Irefin, said “Operation
Crocodile Smile is an exercise designed by the military and other units of the
armed forces to checkmate the activities of criminals in this festive period.”
Speaking at Alamala military
barracks in Abeokuta while flagging off the rehabilitation of the road linking
the barracks with the civilian population, Irefin said the exercise was not
meant to molest anyone but to ensure that the citizenry enjoyed the yuletide
without let or hindrance.
He said members of the police and
the Nigerian Civil Defence Corps were co-opted, more so as the exercise was
targeted at forming defence for the civilian population.
He said the military decided to
tar the road to its barracks in Abeokuta as a way of encouraging the government
to muster the needed support in ensuring the completion of the dilapidated
road.
Irefin commended Governor Dapo
Abiodun, describing him as a listening governor, who has demonstrated
willingness to put bad roads in Ogun State back to shape.
