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.
The numbers are 08160030300, 0705333123 and 08191555888 while the e-mail addresses nigerianarmytips@yahoo.com, nigerianarmytips@gmail.com, and nigerianarmytip@hotmail.com.
