Ahead of the presidential election slated for February 25, the Nigerian Army has released a list of hotlines to monitor and report any suspicious act of violence by persons or groups of persons capable of disrupting the peaceful conduct of the polls.
This is coming a week after the Army launched Operation Safe Conduct across the country which was followed by the deployment of military vehicles and officials in the state of the federation.
The flag-off and the hotlines were to support the lead security agency, the Nigeria Police Force in the successful conduct of the elections.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, urged Nigerians to
report criminal activities to the service.
He added that the citizens could, through the numbers, report the unlawful conduct of troops deployed for the elections.
The statement partly read, “In an effort to effectively carry out its constitutional mandate of providing support to civil authorities and working in synergy with the Nigeria Police to ensure protection of lives and property during the forthcoming 2023 elections, the Nigerian Army has approved a list of hotlines to monitor and report acts of violence by unscrupulous persons or group of persons capable of disrupting the peaceful conduct of the 2023 general election, as well as the conduct of troops deployed to provide security during the elections.”
