The Nigerian Army Makes Hotlines Available To The Public Before Elections
In order to report any suspected acts of violence during the next general election, the Nigerian Army has authorized a list of hotlines.
Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, director of army public relations, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
Recall that the Nigerian army had already created and distributed to its formations and Units the Codes of Conduct and Rules of Engagement for Operation Safe Conduct.
The purpose of the guidebook is to act as a guide and guarantee that soldiers follow all legal requirements.
According to Nwachukwu, the purpose of the hotlines is to provide members of the public a way to assist security forces in their efforts to ensure nationwide elections that are free from violence.
He said that the hotlines were also made available for reporting the actions of the military sent in to ensure security during the election.
He claims that this is a part of the Nigerian army’s effort to assist the police, the primary security force, in ensuring the peaceful, free, and successful conduct of elections.
