Army Ends 'Operation Crocodile Smile' Training In Grand Style

The Nigerian Army has finally ended its training exercise code named, 'Exercise Crocodile Smile' in Bayelsa State.
The exercise, which started about two weeks ago, was launched by the Nigerian Army to checkmate the activities of militants in the Niger Delta region, and possibly reduce crime to its lowest ebb.
Describing the exercise as successful, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, commended his men for a job well done, assuring them of better days ahead.
He said while the soldiers have had to survive in the riverine environment, which for many was their first time in the creeks, the training has offered them a firsthand knowledge of the difficult Niger Delta terrain.
However, the soldiers are now in a celebration mode as they wait for official pronouncements which will signal an end to the training.
