No Gree for Anybody : “Army’s message to Nigerians for 2024: ‘Say no to terrorists.'”
No gree for terrorists – Army tells Nigerians
The Defence Headquarters has issued a plea to Nigerians, urging them to take proactive measures in preventing terrorists from causing havoc in 2024. The DHQ emphasized the importance of citizens being vigilant about security matters and reporting any suspicious activities to the relevant authorities. Speaking to journalists in Abuja, the Director of Defence Media Operations, Edward Buba, assured the public that the military would respond promptly to such information.
In a bid to resonate with the youth, Buba employed the trending slang ‘no gree for anybody,’ encouraging Nigerians to stand firm against terrorists and report any concerning incidents. While the use of the slang has gained popularity, the Nigeria Police Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, had earlier expressed concerns about its potential to cause conflicts among Nigerians.
Emphasizing the military’s objectives for 2024, Buba reiterated their commitment to locating and eliminating terrorists wherever they may be hiding. He underscored that the primary goal is to ensure the sustained defeat of terrorists, preventing them from inflicting harm on citizens across the nation.
Buba disclosed that recent military operations have resulted in significant achievements, including the neutralization of 86 terrorists and the arrest of 101 others. Furthermore, the military successfully apprehended 30 individuals involved in oil theft and rescued 21 kidnapped hostages. Buba highlighted the prevention of oil theft amounting to an estimated sum of N736,115,470.00 in the South-South region, showcasing the military’s ongoing efforts to address security challenges in various areas.
