The Nigerian Army says it is set to start its annual
exercise “Crocodile Smile” to identify, track and counter negative propaganda
in the social media and across the cyberspace.
In a statement, Musa Sagir, army spokesman, said the
exercise will begin across the nation from Tuesday.
“This year’s Exercise CROCODILE SMILE V1 is scheduled to
commence from the 20th of October to the 31st of December 2020,” Sagir said in
a statement.
“The Exercise is deliberately intended to be all
encompassing to include cyber warfare exercises designed to identify, track and
counter negative propaganda in the social media and across the cyberspace.
“This is the first ever Cyberwarfare exercise to be
conducted in the history of the African Armed Forces. Accordingly, the exercise
will also include positive identification component aimed at identifying Boko
Haram terrorists fleeing from the North East and other parts of the country as
a result of the ongoing operations in the various theatres of operations
especially in the Northeast, North Central and North Western parts of Nigeria.
“The Nigerian Army, once again, reassures all well meaning
Nigerians of its commitment to the sustenance of peace and security in Nigeria
and urges members of the public for their support and understanding throughout
the period of the exercise.”
