Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Army has commenced a security operation code-named Exercise Still Waters III to tackle pipeline vandalism, cultism, illegal oil refining, kidnapping and other crimes in Bayelsa.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the exercise was inaugurated on Tuesday in Otuokpoti, Ogbia Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Gov. Douye Diri of Bayelsa hailed the military for the exercise, saying security was imperative to ensuring good governance.<\/p>\n

He welcomed the exercise, saying the operation came at a time the country was approaching the yuletide and Bayelsa was preparing for off-cycle governorship election.<\/p>\n

He also appreciated the efforts of the military in reducing crime and criminality in the state and urged them to continue to be proactive in making the state safe for all.<\/p>\n

Diri pledged the support of the state government to security agencies to keep Bayelsa peaceful.<\/p>\n

According to him, the success of previous security exercises had contributed immensely to peaceful yuletide in the state, and commended the Chief of Army Staff for sustaining the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our state and as we all know, we are in a period called the ember months, which attract criminal activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it is necessary to set in place the machinery to check criminal activities as well as more importantly for the governorship election.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince assuming office, I have given priority to the security of our people and this is the essence of good governance. I have ensured that our people sleep with their two eyes closed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate the sacrifices and commitment of our gallant forces, which have helped reduce crime in our state,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 6 Division, Nigerian Army, Maj.-Gen. Jamal Abdussalam, said the exercise would focus on key aspects of cyber warfare to counter negative propaganda in the social media space.<\/p>\n

The GOC added that it would address other security challenges experienced during the end of the year.<\/p>\n

He assured that personnel of the Nigerian Army were ready to pay the supreme price for the peace and security of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Abdussalam hailed commanders from other security formations for their participation and support for the efforts at maintaining peace and security in the state.<\/p>\n
