The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, has revealed that ‘Operation Python Dance II would have swallowed the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu if he dared stayed in Nigeria and refused to escape to Israel.
Buratai made this known on Monday while speaking at the flag off of the third edition of the military maneuver Exerciser Egwu Eke III in Lagos.
He described the escape of Nnamdi Kanu as one of the major successes of Python Dance II.
In his words,
“One of the important achievement of the Exercise held in 2016 was the escape of Nnamdi Kanu; let him come and face the battle if he wishes.”
General Buratai said if Nnamdi Kanu dared, the python would have swallowed him, warning other criminal elements and those planning to cause trouble in Lagos and Ogun states to stay clear or “the python will swallow them.”
He explained that the objective of the military maneuver was to reinvigorate all existing operations in the country with additional manpower, equipment and resources to address the lingering security problems in the country.
His words: Nigerians should be assured that at the end of the exercise which is also conducted simultaneously by other divisions in the army; the python must have swallowed all the bandits, rustlers, terrorists, kidnappers, robbers and militants in the country. The python will also swallow thugs and other miscreants that may raise their heads to disturb the peace in the country.”
General Buratai warned criminals within Lagos and Ogun states to flee or would be crushed by troops of the Exercise Egwu Eke 111.
