The Nigerian Army has released some GSM numbers and e-mail
addresses that will enable the citizens to reach out to the force in the
ongoing campaign against terrorism.
The
Directors of Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen Ibrahim Attahiru, who stated this
at a briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, urged the citizens to contribute to the
campaign by giving information to the Nigerian Army Information Alert System.
The
objective of the initiative, he said, was to aid the Army as well as other
security agencies to overcome the threat of terrorism in the country.
He
said, “Once more, let me assure all Nigerians that the Army will remain agile
and proactive by continually enhancing her capability to preempt, dislocate,
and disrupt the terrorism threat.
“This
will be achieved through effective collaboration with other security agencies
in order to defeat terrorists and other criminal elements and ensure the safety
of lives and property of law abiding citizens.
“To
this end, the Army calls for the support of all good citizens in its fight
against terrorism by providing information through the NA alert system.”
Attahiru
added that the force was taking proactive measures to ensure that terrorism did
not spread to other parts of the country.
He
explained that the recent arrest of suspected terrorists in Lagos was a
confirmation of the vigilance and determination of Nigerians to prevent the
scourge from spreading in the country.
He
promised that the force would embark on a constant review of its “strategies
toward greater sophistication in tackling the security challenges facing the
country.”
He
also said the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Azubuike Ihejirika, had commenced
implementation of the Freedom of Information Act as enshrined in the FoI Act of
2011.
Attahiru
said the Army had opened an office for the FoI Act to give the public access to
the operations of the service.
