The Nigerian Army on Monday announced that its Exercise AYEM AKPATUMA has been extended in Taraba State. This came barely ten days after retired General TY Danjuma advised Nigerians to defend themselves before killer herdsmen wipe them out.
Danjuma, who spoke at the maiden convocation ceremony of Taraba State University in Jalingo, the state capital, called on the people to rise against “ethnic cleansing” warned; "You must rise to protect yourselves from these people, if you depend on the armed forces to protect you, you will all die. This ethnic cleansing must stop in Taraba, and it must stop in Nigeria."
A statement by Brigadier General Texas Chukwu, Director Army Public Relations reads: “You will all recall that exercise AYEM AKPATUMA was flagged off on 20th February, 2018 to Practice troops in North Central and parts of North West on planning and conduct of 'Military Operations Other Than War'. The exercise was also aimed at further sustaining Nigerian Army’s constitutional roles of defending the territorial integrity of Nigeria as well as aiding the civil authority to maintain peace and security. Exercise AYEM AKPATUMA has recorded tremendous successes in spite of challenges. However, the exercise needs to be sustained in some areas in other to consolidate on the initial gains.
In view of the development, the ongoing exercise AYEM AKPATUMA in Taraba State has been extended for 2 months. .........

Why is TY crying about "ethnic cleansing?"
ReplyDeleteThe one against the peoples of the S/E in 1966
was masterminded by him and his ilk
He never knew that one day, it will be the turn
of his own ethnic group. Even those that are
doing the killings today, ya turn dey come
for he that goes by the sword ends by the sword
What goes round comes round.
