2023 Elections: Army releases hotlines to report criminal activities

Ahead of the presidential election slated for February 25, the Nigerian Army has released a list of hotlines to monitor and report any suspicious act of violence by persons or groups of persons capable of disrupting the peaceful conduct of the polls.

This is coming a week after the Army launched Operation Safe Conduct across the country which was followed by the deployment of military vehicles and officials in the state of the federation.

The flag-off and the hotlines were to support the lead security agency, the Nigeria Police Force in the successful conduct of the elections.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, urged Nigerians to
report criminal activities to the service.

He added that the citizens could, through the numbers, report the unlawful conduct of troops deployed for the elections.
