\n
Ahead of the Nov. 11 governorship election, the General Officer Commanding 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Hassan Dada, has flagged off \u201cOperation Safe Conduct\u201d in Imo State.<\/p>\n
The GOC performed the exercise in a brief ceremony at the 34 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Obinze, Owerri, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Dada, who described the operation as \u201ca measure by the Nigerian military to ensure the security of all stakeholders in the electioneering process,\u201d said that a show of force would be carried out by officers in the three senatorial districts of the state ahead of the election.<\/p>\n
He said that the exercise was to restore the confidence of the electorate and to assure them of adequate security ahead of the election.<\/p>\n
He advised his officers to remain nonpartisan and to get conversant with the Nigerian Army Code of Conduct for election duty while cooperating with other security agencies.<\/p>\n
Dada said to the troops: \u201cOurs is to ensure that people come out and discharge their duties seamlessly while remaining nonpartisan. You must protect all INEC officials and election materials but don\u2019t touch the materials. I will not accept any excuses for any lapses. Do not accept any tip-off from anybody; if you are found wanting, you will be court-martialled.\u201d<\/p>\n
He advised citizens who might be thinking about causing trouble to think otherwise.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose who are here to make trouble will have us to contend with; we are more than adequately prepared,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
