The take-off of the army’s Operation Crocodile Smile amid the #EndSARS protests and the shooting of unarmed protesters in the Lekki area of Lagos, have attracted public outcry, OLALEYE ALUKO reportsacross the country, the impact has been felt everywhere, albeit negatively.
Based on the antecedents of the military, this explanation did not go down well with many Nigerians and socio-cultural groups including the Pan Niger Delta Forum, which described the deployment of soldiers as “the most provocative at a time Nigerian youths were agitating for an end to police brutality.”
These happened in places like Aba, Abia State; Benin, Edo State; Ibadan, Oyo State; Osogbo, Osun State; Akure, Ondo State; Port Harcourt, Rivers State; and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. “So, it cannot be a valid reason to say the military is coming out for cybercrimes. This is the overlapping problem of security agencies which doesn’t make room for efficiency. As a matter of national issues, the military are not supposed to take part in matters of civil unrest. It is only in cases of insurrection – the law is very clear.
“For clarity, it is imperative to explain that no sitting governor controls the rules of engagement of the military. I have, nonetheless, ordered an investigation into the rules of engagement adopted by men of the Nigerian Army that were deployed to the Lekki tollgate last night. “The Chief Security Officer of the state who is the governor also confirmed that he was not aware – maybe the orders came from a higher authority. So it must be investigated to enable us to get to the root of the problem. This action by the military has only aggravated an already bad situation. It is most unfortunate and Nigeria has now been portrayed in the international community in a very bad light.
He said, “It is unfortunate that despite the public outcries, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the country did not deem it fit to promptly address the country. There have been several disruptions of Federal Government and Lagos State Government infrastructures; and the President for days said nothing. The Vice President also came on Twitter – what if there was no Twitter?
With the introduction of operation crocodile smile & security chiefs meeting with the president, it's very obvious that the government gave the order to kill peaceful protesters in toll gate.
