The operation Crocodile Smile exercise of the Nigerian Army will commence across the nation soon.

This was disclosed in a statement made available on Saturday, October 17, by Sagir Musa, the Acting Director of Army Public Relations.

According to him, the 2020 edition is scheduled to commence from Tuesday, October 20 to Thursday, December 31.

The exercise is traditionally conducted in the last quarter of the year.

The 2020 edition of the exercise is expected to be different from the previous ones as it will feature cyber warfare operations.

According to the statement, this special operation is designed to identify, track, and counter negative propaganda in the social media and across the cyberspace.

The Army said the cyber warfare exercise is the first ever to be conducted in the history of the African armed forces. It further explained that the exercise will help in identifying Boko Haram terrorists fleeing from the northeast and other parts of the country as a result of the ongoing operations.

The Nigerian Army also reiterated its commitment to the sustenance of peace and security in Nigeria. It also urged members of the public for their support and understanding throughout the period of the exercise.
