February 23, 2023

The Army has released a list of phone numbers that Nigerians across the country and the FCT can call to report any suspicious acts of violence committed by unscrupulous individuals during the upcoming general election.

The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, made this known in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.

According to Nwachukwu, the purpose of the hotlines is to give members of the public the chance to support security agency efforts to ensure nationwide elections that are free from violence.

He said the hotlines were also released to report the conduct of troops deployed to provide security during the election.

This, according to him, is part of Nigerian army’s move to support the police, which is the lead security agency, to ensure successful conduct of free, fair and peaceful elections.

The Nigerian army had earlier produced and circulated Codes of Conduct and Rules of Engagement for Operation Safe Conduct to its formations and Units.

The manual is to provide guidance and ensure that troops operate within the provisions of the law.
