SOLDIERS ENGAGE IN PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS AND AWARENESS TRAINING

Militants causing disturbances in the Niger Delta may have courted more trouble following a recent training pattern by the Nigerian army.

 A photo showed the military men singing war songs and training using different formations at the barracks in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital.

 During the training of the 133 Special Forces Battalion in Psychological Operations and Awareness, the soldiers were also seen taking series of positions with ‘leaf-coated bodies’ as they crawled on the floor and switched places as they looked set to show different war, battle situations in the event of an attack or an ambush.

The video share by the military spokesperson, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman also showed other soldiers who were not on the ‘battle field’ giving moral support to their colleagues who were showing their skills in training.

Meanwhile, men of the Nigerian army say they have arrested a high profile suspected Boko Haram terrorist, Mohammed Mohammed Zauro at Sabon Gari, Damboa Local Government Area, Borno state.

 According to the military, the suspect was picked up at about 8.30am on Tuesday.

“Preliminary investigation shows that the suspected terrorist kingpin was arrested as he was trying to flee to Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, from Sambisa forest.

 “The troops recovered a Gionee brand of mobile telephone handset and a fake SAIE/JIBWIS identification card to perfect his escape and the sum of N7,900.00k.”
