The Brigade Commander of the 35 Artillery Brigade, Nigeria Army,
Alamara, Abeokuta, Basil Adoke, has urged residents of Ogun State and visitors
not to panic with the imminent coming of a military campaign tagged ‘Operation
Crocodile Smiles’ in the state.
The Brigade Commander who made this known at the Government
House, Abeokuta, the State capital, in his remarks during the cutting of the 57
Independence Day anniversary cake, said when the operation commence, it would only
be targeted at “miscreants and other criminals”, while the law abiding members
of the society have nothing to fear about it.
Adoke said though the state is “relatively peaceful,” there is
also the need to sustain the peace.
“Operation Crocodile smiles will take care of miscreants and
nobody should panic or entertain fear about it except miscreants. There is
relative peace in Ogun State but the peace should also be sustained,” He said.
Governor Ibikunle Amosun in his remarks earlier, expressed the
confidence that his successor would do better than him as the bar of governance
has been raised in the state since May 29, 2011.
Amosun said that the sign among others, that a
successor would out-perform him, include the World bank’s $350m credit facility
being extended to the state government to access at one percent interest rate.
He added that Lagos state government during the era of Babatunde
Fashola, availed itself of such soft loan facility and that the incumbent
administration in Lagos has also accessed part of that initiative started
by Fashola to embark upon the on – going projects in the state.
According to him should the Ogun State government accessed the
$350m credit facility, succeeding administration would access part of the fund.
