Rear Admiral Joseph Okojie, the Commander of the joint military Task force deployed to the Niger Delta, code-named: Operation Delta Safe, ODS, has averred that the military has the capacity to flush out militants from the region but was compelled to respect the dialogue option adopted by the Federal Government.
Okojie who made this known at a press conference in Yenagoa stressed that the Defence Headquarters had scaled down military option and declared a ceasefire to pave way for dialogue with the militants, he stated that the operation through the support of the military top brass and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, has been effectively curtailing collateral damage to oil infrastructure in the region.
According to him, “We have seen reports emanating from faceless sources that tend to compromise national security in the mainstream media and want to restate our commitment to the mandate given to Operation Delta Safe.
“Our mandate does not include engagement in propaganda with any interest and wish to restate that the territorial integrity of our country is sacrosanct.
“We implore the media to rise to the occasion and subject their security related stories to the dictates of their professional ethics,” the commander stated.
