The Defence Headquarters has vowed that troops deployed nationwide are prepared to address any threats, especially as the Muslim faithful begins the Ramadan period.

The Director Media Operation, Maj. Gen. Buba Edward, stated this through a statement issued onn Friday, 8 March, 2024.

The DHQ said troops are prepared and capable of handling the security threats during the period.

“Even as Ramadan is about to commence, troops are ready as a formidable force for the threats and know how to deal with them,” the statement partly read.

Buba also vowed that the troops would not relent until terrorists were defeated on the battlefield.

The DHQ’s assurance coincides with a statement from the Department of State Services which felicitates Christians for Lent and Muslims for the approaching Ramadan, and urged citizens to remain vigilant, particularly against the threat of improvised explosives

The statement partly read, “The general public is urged to stay informed about potential threats; avoid crowded or suspicious areas and report to relevant security agencies any strange objects, activities, and movements of hostile elements.

“In the same vein, the Service calls for tolerance, bonds of brotherhood, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence among the populace.”
