The Defence Headquarters in Nigeria has called on the public to thwart the activities of terrorists in the new year, urging citizens to maintain heightened security awareness and report any criminal incidents to security operatives. Speaking to journalists in Abuja, Director of Defence Media Operations, Edward Buba, assured that the military would respond to such reports promptly. Buba, using the trending youth slang “no gree for anybody,” encouraged Nigerians to stand firm against terrorists, emphasizing the importance of staying true to one’s beliefs and resisting external influence. However, the Nigeria Police Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, cautioned that the use of this slang could potentially lead the country into crisis.
Following the call for resistance against terrorists, Buba outlined the military’s objectives for 2024, aiming to locate and eliminate terrorists wherever they may be hiding. He asserted the unwavering commitment to ensuring the enduring defeat of terrorists, preventing them from terrorizing or harming citizens. Buba highlighted recent military operations’ success, reporting the neutralization of 86 terrorists, the arrest of 101 individuals, and the prevention of oil theft, emphasizing the military’s relentless pursuit of both top leaders and lower-ranking commanders among terrorist groups.
